Best sunsets on the island
The beach consistently delivers dramatic, photograph-worthy sunsets that reviewers described as gorgeous and indescribable.
Visit on weekday mornings for calm
Weekdays and early hours offer fewer crowds; one visitor on a Thursday afternoon found plenty of people but not overcrowded.
Arrive before 10am for parking
The lot holds roughly 120 spaces and fills quickly, especially on weekends and warm days.
Watch for shell-heavy sand patches
The beach mixes soft white sand near the waterline with shell-filled sand in other areas, making it less.
