Guide
Good to know
Explore at low tide
At low tide the beach extends hundreds of yards and reveals tide pools, a walkable creek, and access.
Reserve parking ahead via Blinkay app
Non-resident parking costs $35-$45 and requires advance reservation through the Blinkay app; walk-ups risk finding the lot full.
Arrive before 10am or after 3pm
The lot fills quickly on warm days; early arrival or late afternoon visits offer better parking availability and fewer crowds.
Bring your own food and drinks
The snack stand operates seasonally and food service is slow, with waits of 30 minutes not uncommon; bring.
