Guide
Good to know
Reported good with little kids
Visitors often mention shallow or calm water. This is what reviewers report, not a safety assessment.Mentioned by 8 visitors · 2016–2026
Best for shell hunting
The rocky shoreline and reefs consistently yield abundant shells, especially on cool mornings and after low tide.
Arrive early for parking
The small lot fills quickly on weekends and holidays, though overflow parking exists across the street.
Expect rough surf and rocks
The water can be choppy with sharp rocky formations, making it ideal for surfers but requiring water shoes and caution.
Bring your own supplies
Restrooms and showers are available, but there are no trash bins or vendors, so bring water and food.
