Shark tooth hunting is the main draw
Many visitors find dozens of teeth by sifting dry sand or digging under the top layer rather.
Stay for sunset if possible
The sunset view draws crowds but creates a respectful, communal atmosphere that reviewers consistently praised.
Visit on weekdays for fewer crowds
Weekday visits offer noticeably less crowding and easier parking than weekends or peak season months.
Arrive by 9-10am on weekends
The parking lot fills to capacity by late morning, especially during warm weather and peak season.
Wear water shoes or sandals
The shoreline has abundant shells and rough sand that can make bare feet tender, especially near the waterline.
