Guide
Good to know
Best for sunset walks, not swimming
The beach excels for evening walks and peaceful relaxation on clean white sand with minimal crowds.
Head to East End for shells
The eastern beach entrance has better shell collecting, particularly further out where larger shells accumulate.
Pay $10 parking upfront
Use the ParkMobile app to pay at any of the three public beach areas, as the parking enforcement.
Visit on weekdays or off-season
The beach remains quiet and uncrowded except during holidays and fishing rodeos, making weekday visits ideal for peaceful.
Expect murky water, not crystal clear
The water is tan and brown rather than blue-green, with visible oil rigs in the distance.
