Guide
Good to know
Come for exceptional soft sand
The beach features uniquely fine, powdery white sand that stays cool underfoot and is comfortable for long walks.
Arrive early or after 4pm
The beach gets very crowded between 10am and 4pm, especially on weekends, making parking and beach access difficult.
Expect limited public parking
Paid parking ($8/hour) fills quickly, though a handful of free spots exist down the beach access lane if you search.
Bring water and sunscreen
There are no public restrooms and the walk from parking can be long; one reviewer had a severe.

Does Crescent Beach have restrooms?
