    5/5

    This was by far the best trip we have ever had! 5 star service when we forgot something in our car! Highly recommend the Bird Shoal trip over going to a public beach! This was so private that at one point, it was just the two of us and the dog! Staff is very friendly and a wealth of knowledge about the area. We will do this trip again!
