About This Beach
Zmudowski State Beach is a remote, secluded beach accessed via a rough dirt road, offering a pristine, expansive sandy beach with sand dunes. The beach boasts beautiful scenery and relatively calm waters, perfect for long walks and fishing, but is marred by a history of vehicle break-ins. Limited amenities exist, consisting primarily of a single porta-potty.
