Paines Creek Landing and Beach

Paines Creek Beach is the ultimate little kid, adventure, build a touch tank spot! Tons of little critters to meet up in an amazingly abundant ecosystem. The big beach around the bend from the Little River estuary area is amazing too!

What looks like a nice, secluded, small beach extends around the turn for a long walkable sand beach flanked by beach grass dunes and sea grasses at the waterline. The other direction is also walkable, but requires crossing the creek which can be deeper/shallow or have strong current depending on the tide.

Great place for little kids, there's no waves but still has water. The place looks completely different from high tide vs low tide. Parking requires a permit and there's only like ten spots.

Went to this beach with a friend at sunset. Took my drone for a bit of practice, people there were very friendly. Beautiful location for a stroll along the beach and on the sandbar which is extensive. Decent parking but not a whole lot. Get there early or late during the summer.

This was an awesome little beach. Earlier in the day when tide is out there are little sandbars scattered to sit on. Make sure you pay the daily parking fee online as there is a fee, but no payment meters on location.
