Creator's Key Takeaways

There used to be tons of chairs all over the beach. And now MSE has actually changed that.

We had people pull up on both sides of us with lounge chairs playing music on both sides competing and it was just really obnoxious.

The couches were disgusting. I mean, look at the couch cushions. They're just covered in stains of who knows what.

I just didn't think that the cabana was worth it.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Arrive early to secure one of the few free chairs on the beach.
Consider booking cabanas 30, 31, or 32 for the best location.
If mobility is a concern, choose a cabana near the tram stop.
Opt for the $35 two loungers and umbrella option instead of a cabana.
