Guide
Good to know
Facilities are well-maintained year-round
Restrooms, outdoor showers, changing rooms, and a snack bar operate seasonally, making this suitable for families with young children.
Arrive by 9am on weekdays
Parking fills quickly after mid-morning, especially on weekends and summer days when fees range from $10 to $25.
Plan around tide and dredging schedules
Low tide reveals extensive shell beds and sandbars; check ahead as seasonal dredging occasionally closes sections of beach.
Walk south for dolphins and shells
The southern end and inlet area offer better shelling and wildlife viewing but cannot be used for swimming.
