This is a private beach. You do have to park and walk to it, but the walk is easy with two different paths to choose from. Both paths take you through the Mangrove Swamp, and both have a nice easy trail to follow. There did seem to be a lot of trees down on the beach from the hurricanes last year, but it was still gorgeous. This was probably my favorite beach and was definitely worth the drive to it. They charge a $3 donation that goes to the national park.
