Guide
Good to know
Bring quarters or use the app
Parking is paid hourly via QR code or mobile app, so you can extend your stay remotely without.
Arrive early on summer weekends
Parking fills up by late morning, and umbrella rentals can occupy most of the sand by midday.
Use street parking, not lots
Street parking costs five dollars per hour while some lots charge fifteen dollars per hour.
Bathrooms are port-a-potties only
Expect portable toilets rather than traditional restroom facilities, despite some listings suggesting otherwise.
