The point offers 360-degree views across water and dunes with particularly striking light at these times.
Visit at low tide
The beach expands dramatically, revealing tide pools, shells, and sandbars that disappear when water returns.
Wear waterproof shoes and roll-ups
Walking to the point requires wading through shallow water and sand mixes between dry areas.
Expect to pay for parking
The public lot charges four dollars per hour during peak season, which adds up for longer visits.
Bring hand sanitizer to facilities
Bathrooms in the parking lot lack sinks, so wipes or sanitizer are practical for cleanup.
