Guide
Good to know
Calm water ideal for anxious dogs
The inlet creates small waves from boat wakes rather than ocean swells, perfect for dogs scared of rough water.
Reported good with little kids
Visitors often mention shallow or calm water. This is what reviewers report, not a safety assessment.Mentioned by 4 visitors · 2013–2026
Visit on weekday mornings
Tuesday and Wednesday mornings avoid crowds, while summer weekends and Saturdays fill parking by late morning.
Bring water shoes or sandals
The beach has shells, small rocks, and dead crabs along the waterline that make barefoot walking uncomfortable.
Bring a long leash for water play
Dogs must be leashed at all times, but a 20-40 foot retractable or long lead lets them swim.
