Bring snorkeling gear for exploration

Plan for $9 total fees
Budget $6 for the bridge toll and $3 for parking, payable by card or cash at entry.
Come for shelling, not swimming

Skip if you have young children
The beach has a steep drop-off, abundant broken shells, and deeper water than expected for toddlers.
