“Juno beach is lovely to either relax or hang out with friends. It is a public beach that is never busy so it doesn't get much better than that!” - Raven M.
“I think that Juno beach is great because it is a pretty versatile hang-out spot, or a good place to hang out alone. Whether you like to tan in a bikini or have late-night taco bell picnics in jeans, this is a great spot to get away from campus for a little bit. Just watch where you step because I once saw man o' wars washed up on the beach, and also don't speed or anything in the area as cops are always parked watching the road that runs along the beach.” - Raven M.

“This park is great for fishing, swimming, kayaking, snorkeling, or any other beach activity.

Relaxing vibes and great views of the lighthouse make this park great!” - Owen M.
