Guide
Good to know
Reported good with little kids
Visitors often mention shallow or calm water. This is what reviewers report, not a safety assessment.Mentioned by 6 visitors · 2018–2026
Come for long walks and views
Miles of coastline and a paved trail make this ideal for walking, jogging, and sunset photography.
Visit on weekdays for solitude
Weekday visits offer a relaxing experience with fewer crowds than weekends, despite ample parking space.
Wear water shoes
The shoreline is covered with rocks and pebbles that make barefoot walking painful and difficult.
Expect bathroom and trash issues
Restrooms are poorly maintained with odor problems, and beach trash and seaweed accumulation are recurring complaints.
Bring sandwiches and guard food
There is limited food truck availability, so pack your own meals and protect them from aggressive seagulls.
