Guide
Good to know
Plan around low tide
At low tide around 2pm, the beach flats extend hundreds of yards and are easier to walk.
Check wind forecast first
Reviewers consistently report strong winds that make the beach less enjoyable, though some days are calm.
Arrive early on weekends
The small parking lot fills quickly on busy days, especially near the hotel area.
Bring layers year-round
Temperatures hover around 60-65 degrees even in good weather, with winter requiring extra warmth.
