Why is it called "Doc Let"?

The name "Doc Let" (literally meaning "Slipping Hill") comes from the long stretches of fine white sand dunes in the area. To reach the beach, visitors must cross these tall, soft sand hills, which are so deep and loose that you often have to "slip" or "drag" your feet step by step to get through - a unique yet fun experience. Once you make it past the dunes, you're rewarded with a breathtaking view of turquoise waters and pristine white sands.
