North Beach Boardwalk and Michael R Frazer Sunrise Garden

We visited the Michael R Frazer Sunrise Garden in June with its clever sculptures, flowers and wildlife.  The garden was apparently renamed in 2022 after the former mayor.  It is rare to find such a pretty small garden.  There are steep little bridges.  The boardwalk next to it is lovely too.  I recommend visiting in the off season or maybe early in the day due to parking issues.  The beach is quite expensive to park your beach towel on.

North Beach Boardwalk June 13, 2022

We chose to go to North Beach boardwalk last week after getting tick bites in the last two weeks.  The temperature was warming up, and I tried to pick a cooler day in the week.  The trip turned into a disaster for our little poodle who fell off a bench and had a seizure, but the boardwalk itself was enjoyable.  The Sunrise Garden was very pretty this time of year, with water lilies, koi, and hibiscus.  The beach was very expensive, requiring a beach tag, but the boardwalk was free and leashed dogs were allowed.  This time of year we were able to park in a handicapped spot during the week, but I expect that will be more difficult during the summer months.
