Bring 4x4 or high-clearance vehicle
The steep, narrow access road requires significant ground clearance, especially when wet or muddy.
Avoid weekends for solitude
Weekends draw heavy crowds, with one visitor reporting over 150 vehicles parked on the beach at once.
Watch for soft sand patches
The southern end and dune areas have deep, fine sand that can trap vehicles despite good clearance.
