Guide
Good to know
Visit at low tide
At high tide, water covers most sand and leaves only rocks and boulders exposed.
Reported good with little kids
Visitors often mention shallow or calm water. This is what reviewers report, not a safety assessment.Mentioned by 4 visitors · 2017–2026
Bring insect repellent
Sand fleas and mosquitoes are active, especially in evening hours when bugs become problematic.
Parking is limited and tight
Lot capacity is small, fitting only a few large vehicles, and fills quickly on busy days.
Bring your own food and drinks
On-site dining and beverages cost significantly more than standard prices.
