Guide
Good to know
Arrive on weekdays outside summer
The beach is nearly empty on early spring weekends and mid-September weekdays with open access.
Go for sunsets, not swimming
The beach excels for watching sunsets and relaxing walks, not for clear-water swimming.
Visit at low tide
Flats expand significantly, revealing tide pools and shallow areas ideal for exploring.
Wear water shoes
The beach is rocky with shells and broken crab shells, making barefoot wading uncomfortable.
Check if restrooms are open
Bathroom facilities are frequently closed or poorly maintained despite being on-site.
