Guide
Good to know
Go at sunset for best views
Evening light produces distinctive purplish-orange sunsets and creates ideal conditions for photos and romantic picnics.
Visit after Labor Day for solitude
The beach transforms into a quiet retreat once summer crowds leave, with better hotel and restaurant availability.
Parking requires advance planning
Spots are limited, especially in high season, and some areas may require a sticker or knowing a resident.
Expect unique sand conditions
The sand behaves differently than typical East Coast beaches and requires experienced driving if you use vehicles on the beach.
Bring your own restroom supplies
The beach lacks adequate bathroom facilities, so plan accordingly before arrival.
