These options include Adirondack chairs near the stage, picnic tables in the sand, and beach chairs around the fire pits. It’s not uncommon for these seats to fill up with patrons, so anyone thinking of bringing a group is encouraged to reserve a cabana – the only section of the beach that is available for reservations. Interested in hosting a party or event at the Sandbox? The cabanas are perfect for events like birthday parties, anniversaries, engagement parties, etc. With each cabana reservation, guests will receive two picnic tables in a covered area. Each picnic table can seat up to eight guests. Parties that have more than 20 guests should book multiple cabanas. Cabanas can be reserved for the times listed below. **Cabana rentals are a space reservation only!** Your guests will still need to pay the fees required to access the beach on that particular day. This includes Friday, weekend, and holiday beach fees as well as special event fees.
