Arrive by 9am for parking
Multiple reviewers report spending 15+ minutes circling for spots, especially on nice weather days.
Expect bridge and traffic noise
The bridge overhead produces constant background noise from vehicles, helicopters, and planes that some find intrusive.
Bring bags for your dog's waste
This is a popular dog beach with waste stations at entrances; leaving waste harms the Chesapeake Bay ecosystem.
