Guide

Good to know

Visit midweek or after lunch
Weekday visits and afternoon arrivals offer calmer parking and fewer crowds on the beach itself.
Reported good with little kids
Visitors often mention shallow or calm water. This is what reviewers report, not a safety assessment.Mentioned by 3 visitors · 2017–2026
Arrive by 10am on weekends
The parking lot fills completely by late morning on summer Saturdays, with cars backing up down the road.
Plan 6 to 7 miles round trip
Distance estimates range from 3.2 to 6.5 miles each way depending on parking location, with muddy sections.
Bring plenty of water and food
No facilities exist at the beach, and the long hike requires substantial hydration and snacks for the return trip.
