Guide
Good to know
Reported good with little kids
Visitors often mention shallow or calm water. This is what reviewers report, not a safety assessment.Mentioned by 12 visitors · 2021–2026
Plan for active wave conditions
Wind and storm conditions create significant surf perfect for boogie boarding, but water temperatures stay around 78 degrees.
Visit early morning for parking
Reviewers consistently noted that early arrivals secured spots easily, while the lot can fill by late morning on busy days.
Expect crowds near the main parking ramp
One reviewer noted Ramp 49 gets busier with unsupervised children and shell gatherers, while areas further south feel more spacious.
Bring footwear for water entry
Reviewers reported soft sand on the beach but shell fragments in the water that made walking uncomfortable without protection.
