Playground

Just a short walk from the beach, this low-key neighborhood spot is exactly what you want when you’ve got a toddler who needs to burn off energy without the chaos of a bigger park. There’s a climbing structure, slides, and swings — nothing fancy, but totally solid for the under-6 crowd. The soft ground surface is a nice touch if you’ve got a wobbly walker still figuring things out. Palm trees give you decent shade, and parking is right there, which honestly makes a huge difference with little kids in tow. The waterfront backdrop doesn’t hurt either.
