Reported good with little kids
Visitors often mention shallow or calm water. This is what reviewers report, not a safety assessment.Mentioned by 2 visitors · 2017–2026
Check for seaweed odor before going
Small organisms occasionally wash ashore and create unpleasant smells, though staff rake the beach daily when this occurs.
Visit off-season for cheapest parking
Parking costs nothing or very little outside summer months, but fees apply during peak season.
Arrive early on hot weekends
The lot has plenty of spaces, but parking fills during peak days when demand is highest.
