Guide
Good to know
Go for walking and recreation
The beach works well for casual walks, biking, skateboarding, and basketball rather than swimming.
Wear water shoes
Shells and rocks along the shoreline are sharp enough to cause discomfort when walking into the water.
Expect murky water
The water is visibly muddy rather than clear or blue, though still swimmable.
Check sand condition beforehand
Sand cleanliness varies between visits, so inspect it before settling in for the day.
