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 12 visitors · 2018–2026
Best for long walks and camping
The private beach stretches wide with few crowds, making it ideal for extended exploration and sunset camping experiences.
Plan for extreme wind
Wind is strong enough to blow away beach setups and can be especially intense at night, even.
Book camping six months ahead
Reservations fill quickly and require booking exactly six months in advance at midnight; day-use access may also fill.
Bring quarters for hot showers
Showers require quarters with no on-site machine, so get change from the store which opens after 10am.
