From the reviews
Came back and visited again...a couple times this month actually. They added a very cool new playground for the handicapped. I would have gotten pictures but I was having so much fun with my son checking out all of the new equipment that I didn't stop to snap any. Take my word for it though and go check it out!
Nice beach, little rocky, but expected as Geneva is the same. They do have lifeguards during Memorial thru labor day. Also a great place to find sea glass.
🌊 A Beach Enthusiast’s Dream—Walnut Beach Delivers! As someone who's explored beaches around the globe, I can confidently say Walnut Beach is a hidden gem—and currently my favorite spot on American soil. The energy here is incredible and inclusive.
I spend at least 1 day a week during the spring/summer months at Walnut beach walking the beach & looking for beach glass. Friends & I try to spend a 3 to 7 day mini vacation every summer. Everyone is friendly, I've ran into several couples who return every year from different states who come here to vacation.
Getting married at Walnut Beach Park
Walnut Beach Park is a public beach or park, so a ceremony here almost always needs a permit from the managing city, county, or state parks office — and the rules matter: many public beaches cap your guest count, set ceremony windows, and restrict what you can set up (some ban chairs, arches, and amplified sound entirely). There's no on-site coordinator, catering, or weather backup, so you'll bring your own vendors and a rain plan. The payoff is a stunning setting at a fraction of a private venue's cost. Start with our public-beach permit guide, then call the local office to confirm this season's rules.
