Good to know

Expect a quiet, walkable setting
The beach attracts few crowds and features a sidewalk and bike trail for easy strolling and exercise.
Visit at low tide
A sunken two-masted sailboat becomes visible at low tide, offering a unique photo opportunity.
Bring sandals and a towel
The beach is covered in shells rather than sand, which can be painful to walk on barefoot.
Bring a jacket for wind
The beach gets windy and cold, especially suitable for layered clothing rather than swimwear.

Questions

Common questions

Where do you park at Bay Beach?
The nearest mapped parking area is 220 ft from the listed location. Positions come from OpenStreetMap, not from review text.
How far is the walk to the water at Bay Beach?
30 ft in a straight line from the listing to the mapped shoreline, under a minute. Soft sand and dune make the real walk longer than the straight line.
Does Bay Beach have restrooms?
No restrooms are mapped within 600 m on OpenStreetMap. That means nobody has mapped any, which is not the same as there being none.

Measured from OpenStreetMap, public aerial imagery and live conditions data, and counted from visitor reviews. Every source, in full.
