As for just wading in and enjoying yourself, I remarked earlier that it's pretty easy. You can also do water sports, kayaking, stand-up paddle boarding, etc. For us, it's more than enough.
Well it is clear from your review that you had a great time and enjoyed the beach
There is no denying that. But I think for the benefit of other readers, some should be aware that your opinion might be a bit in the minority because compared to other beaches in KS it would possibly not be rated near the top. Among the advantages that you mention regarding the beach, the easiest for me to comment on would be water being clear. Depending on the month of the year you go to KS, the water on that side of KS will have the most algae and can be unpleasant.

I have stayed at all those 5 resorts and count me among those who would vote VB as #1 for the beach on those listed above.
