Guide

Good to know

Use excellent facility amenities
The bathhouse, outdoor showers, changing rooms, restrooms, and water fountain refill stations are unusually clean and well-maintained.
Visit on weekdays or off-season
Weekday visits and shoulder seasons offer plenty of solitude, while summer weekends and afternoons become noticeably crowded.
Arrive before 11am in summer
The parking lot has ample free spaces early in the day but fills as midday approaches during peak season.
Expect steep water drop-offs
The ocean floor slopes down sharply, which several parents noted makes it less ideal for very young children.
