Expect strong wind
The beach is consistently windy, making personal umbrellas impractical but covered picnic structures available.
Wear water shoes
The beach is covered in sharp shells that cause pain even a few steps into the water.
Visit weekdays, not weekends
Weekends bring crowds and party crowds, while weekdays are peaceful with plenty of space.
Bring supplies from town
The nearest full grocery store is 20+ minutes away, and the local convenience store is limited and overpriced.
