Guide
Good to know
Choose the marina side for warmth
The harbor-facing side has warmer, calmer, shallower water with less seaweed than the ocean-facing side.
Plan meals at the on-site snack bar
The luncheonette serves grilled cheese, burgers, and lobster rolls, operating until Labor Day with extended summer hours.
Visit in off-season for solitude
Winter and fall bring nearly empty beaches, ideal for peaceful walks and shell collecting without crowds.
Expect heavy seaweed in summer
Gulfweed accumulates on the sand, especially mornings, though water is cleaner further.
Pay the parking fee in summer
Day parking costs thirty dollars during peak season but includes access to multiple beaches.
