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 12 visitors · 2017–2026
Perfect for beginner surfers
The beach has consistent waves, a flat sandy bottom, and numerous rental shops plus instructors available for lessons.
Visit weekday afternoons for fewer crowds
Weekday visits, especially April and later afternoons, offer a noticeably less crowded experience than peak times.
Arrive early to secure parking
Paid lots cost $5-$30 per day and fill up by late morning on busy days, though free street.
Water is cold year-round
Even in March and summer months, the Atlantic water remains chilly enough that many visitors skip swimming or adjust expectations.
Bring your own water to rinse off
While bathrooms exist, shower stations are limited or have long wait times, so pack extra fresh water for cleanup.
