Guide
Good to know
Plan for photography and exploration
The surreal landscape of massive driftwood, fallen trees, and dense shells creates an exceptional setting for photos and casual wandering.
Time your visit to low tide
At high tide, water covers most of the beach and walking trails become impassable or severely restricted.
Bring water and bug spray
The half-mile walk crosses open marshland with intense sun exposure and mosquitoes that persist even with insect repellent.
Wear water shoes on the beach
The entire shoreline is dense with shells that make walking barefoot uncomfortable and difficult.
