Guide
Good to know
Bring a shell collector's mindset
The beach has abundant shells and rocky patches rather than pure smooth sand.
Come for sunset views
The top of the stairs offers a scenic vantage point for watching the sunset.
Go early to secure parking
The lot is small and fills quickly, especially during peak tourist season.
Expect steep stairs to beach
The descent is significant and not wheelchair accessible; Pleasant Street Beach nearby offers accessible alternatives.
Visit at low tide for more beach
At high tide, water comes nearly to the stairs leaving minimal sand to walk.
