Ask a local where they like to spend a sunny day and they will likely direct you to this gorgeous strip of sand at the northern end of Seven Mile Beach. It's rarely crowded – not because it's haunted but because there are no big resorts in the area. You can park on the street or in the lot across from West Bay Cemetery.
