Arrive early on summer weekends
The parking lot fills by midday, though free street parking is available a short walk away.
Rent an umbrella in advance
Shade is essential on the exposed rocky beach and rentals sell out, particularly on hot days.
Expect a rocky beach, not sand
Bring water shoes or a chair since the rocks heat up in the sun and lying down is uncomfortable.
