Guide

Good to know

Time your visit for sunset
The beach is known for reliably beautiful sunsets throughout the year that reviewers describe as exceptional.
Arrive by 8am on weekends
Parking fills quickly after 8am, especially Saturdays and Sundays, though spots open throughout the day.
Park on side streets for quieter access
The main lot near Manatee Avenue gets crowded; try side street access points further along the island for fewer people.
Bring your own umbrella and shade
The beach has no natural shade; umbrella rentals cost $50 for chairs and umbrella until 5pm.
