Guide
Good to know
Visit at sunset for best views
Nearly every positive review mentions the sunset, with visitors recommending arrival 30+ minutes before dusk for optimal parking.
Come on weekdays or off-season
Reviewers report minimal crowds on Thursday evenings and note that weekends get very crowded despite the small beach size.
Expect rocky terrain, not sand
This is primarily a rocky beach suitable for wading and kayak launching rather than lounging, though shells.
Obtain fire permit from fire department
Beach fires are permitted and popular, but reviewers emphasize getting a free permit first and fully extinguishing fires before leaving.
