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 · 2016–2026
Plan around the tide
At low tide the beach widens dramatically with shallow sandbars perfect for children, while high tide compresses the sand considerably.
Arrive before 8am or after 3pm
The state lot parking fills quickly on summer days, but free parking along Ocean Boulevard is available.
Bring cash for parking
One visitor reported their card was hacked at the parking kiosk and customer service confirmed an ongoing payment system issue.
Dogs allowed in off-season only
Dogs must be leashed and are permitted May through September only after 7pm, or anytime during winter months.
