Best for walking and relaxing, not beach days
The minimal sand and water views make this suitable for strolls and sitting rather than traditional sunbathing or swimming.
Plan on dining onsite
Sam's Beach Bar and nearby restaurants are integrated into the experience and consistently mentioned as worthwhile.
Come for sunset, not swimming
The water quality is questionable and the swimming area is minimal, but the sunset views consistently impress visitors.
Arrive early to secure parking
The lot fills quickly at sunset time, with some reviewers suggesting the overflow lot by the boat ramp.
Bring water shoes for rocky bottom
The beach has rocks and a small sandy area, so footwear makes wading more comfortable.
