Guide
Good to know
Come for walking and solitude
This beach offers miles of uncrowded sand dunes, soft sand, and wildlife viewing rather than traditional swimming or sunbathing.
Use main school entrance
Avoid Lupin Road access, which leads to a locked gate with no parking and difficult turnaround space.
Dress for cold, windy conditions
Water stays around 50 degrees year-round with frequent high winds and large waves, so bring a jacket.
Visit at sunset or in groups
Reviewers highlighted spectacular northwestern sunsets and recommended not visiting alone due to the isolated location.
