Guide
Good to know
Excellent for sunrise and sunset viewing
The beach is consistently praised for beautiful sunrises and sunsets, with peaceful, quiet conditions at dawn.
Buy the $12 annual permit
You can drive directly onto the beach and park near the water, but enforcement is active and permits are required.
Expect soft sand driving challenges
Soft sand near the water can trap vehicles; reviewers with standard cars made it through, but recovery equipment is recommended.
Visit on weekdays for calm crowds
Weekends and warm months fill quickly, while Friday and weekday visits consistently had fewer people and easier parking.
