The stay at The Henderson Beach Resort was wonderful. The property was clean, the staff was accommodating and everything was convenient. Only a short walk to the beach, and you will have to pay for chairs - but if you plan to spend the day it's well worth it. We made the trip from South Florida and would certainly stay again.
