It’s a perfect way to spend the afternoon, lying on the beach and watching your own private air show of helicopters and other types of aircraft flying overhead.

The campground does take bookings from civilians, but the only catch is that military members are given the priviledge of reserving sites earlier. There are two kids’ playgrounds, a little snack hut, a concession, and an area with flush toilets and showers.
