Guide
Good to know
Come for shells and beachcombing
The beach consistently yields abundant shells and shark teeth, making it ideal for collectors rather than swimmers.
Park at multiple public accesses
Parking is distributed along the main road with numerous public access points rather than concentrated at one lot.
Visit weekdays or off-season
Weekends and tourist season bring noticeably more crowds, while weekday visits and November through March offer the peaceful.
Expect jellyfish and fishing activity
The water has jellyfish even during daytime and many active fishermen, so plan around these conditions if swimming.
Bring your own gear and setup
The beach has limited food and drink options nearby, so plan to bring supplies or be prepared.
