Guide
Good to know
Ideal for dog owners
Dogs run off-leash throughout the beach and trails, with many other dogs to socialize.
Visit at low or minus tide
Beach expands significantly at low tide, revealing more sand and tidal flats to explore.
Come on sunny, calm days
Wind and fog are common, making layered clothing essential even when the city is warm.
Plan for steep sandy climb
The descent to the beach is steep; the return climb up sand dunes is physically demanding.
Arrive early on weekends
Summer weekends bring crowds to the main trail, though the large beach itself offers space to spread.
