Guide
Good to know
Reported good with little kids
Visitors often mention shallow or calm water. This is what reviewers report, not a safety assessment.Mentioned by 52 visitors · 2013–2026
Plan for shallow, calm water with kids
A natural rock barrier stops waves and keeps the water shallow and sheltered, with small protected pools ideal for wading.
Visit at sunrise, sunset, or weekday
The beach empties of crowds during early morning, weekday hours, and around sunset, when sea turtles often come ashore.
Wear water shoes without fail
Multiple visitors suffered cut feet, bruised shins, and scraped knees on sharp rocks and sea urchins hidden in shallow water.
Arrive early for street parking
Parking is extremely limited in this residential neighborhood and fills up, especially near sunset.
Bring your own shade and water
No restrooms, showers, or picnic facilities exist on the beach; shade is only available in the morning.
