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 8 visitors · 2016–2026
Excellent for razor clamming
Reviewers consistently reported phenomenal clamming and abundant sand dollars across the beach.
Visit midweek for solitude
Weekdays offer a peaceful, uncrowded experience, while holiday weekends turn the beach into a busy off-road highway.
Four-wheel drive strongly recommended
The sand is deep and soft, and regular vehicles risk getting stuck without proper tire pressure and technique.
Plan around high tide
At high tide, portions of the beach become impassable by vehicle and walking access from parking becomes longer.
