Guide
Good to know
Arrive for sunrise or early morning
Early visits offer the best photography light, easiest parking, and the fewest people before the beach fills by midday.
Walk the boardwalk for non-swimming activity
The two-to-three mile boardwalk offers restaurants, shopping, and entertainment like a carousel without paying beach entry fees.
Visit on weekdays or off-season
Weekday visits cost $5 for adults versus $7 on weekends, and the beach feels peaceful with minimal crowds.
Bring cash for parking and entry
Beach entry is significantly cheaper with cash at the window, and most parking meters and beach-side lots accept cash only.
Expect strong currents and rocky areas
Some sections have rocks where swimming is restricted and currents can be dangerous, particularly at high tide with wind.
