Guide
Good to know
Visit September through April
Crowds drop significantly in fall and spring, and you may have stretches of beach entirely to yourself.
Park only on hard-packed areas
Vehicles frequently get stuck in soft sand along the roadside, requiring towing services to escape.
Bring sunglasses and sunscreen
The white sand reflects intense sunlight so brightly that one reviewer compared it to a solar eclipse.
Watch for jellyfish on shore
Beachgoers report jellyfish washed up on the sand, so check where you step.
