Guide
Good to know
Ideal for solitude and nature
This access rarely gets crowded, making it perfect for quiet walks, wildlife watching, and escaping busier beach areas.
Prepare for a sandy walk
The parking lot sits well back from the beach with an uphill trek through sand, so wear appropriate.
Check for facilities beforehand
There are no outhouses or trash cans at this access point, so plan accordingly for longer visits.
Watch the tide closely
A deep trough runs at the shore and drops off steeply as tide comes in, creating sudden depth changes.
