Go at low tide for more beach
Low tide expands the usable beach significantly and may prevent a stream from splitting the shoreline.
Perfect for dogs and quiet walks
The wide, smooth path to the beach is accessible for dogs and wheelchairs, with minimal crowds.
Wear water shoes in the water
The ocean floor is covered with rocks and shells rather than sand, making barefoot wading painful.
Visit on weekdays or evenings
The small parking lot can fill on weekends, though reviewers report rarely seeing it completely full.
Water clarity varies near the entry
Water tends to be murkier near the main parking lot entry but clearer toward the southern end near houses.
