Guide
Good to know
Explore tide pools and flats
The exposed flats at low tide reveal tide pools, sea glass, shells, and shallow water puddles that entertain.
Visit at low tide
A sandbar emerges at low tide, creating a walkable land bridge to Bar Island that disappears under water.
Reported good with little kids
Visitors often mention shallow or calm water. This is what reviewers report, not a safety assessment.Mentioned by 3 visitors · 2019–2026
Check tide times before arriving
Plan your visit around tide schedules and allow time to return before high tide covers the sandbar.
Expect a rocky beach
The main beach is small and rocky rather than sandy, though the sandbar itself is walkable.
