Visit at low tide
The beach expands dramatically at low tide, offering miles of smooth sand for dogs to run freely.
Arrive early for parking
The lot fills quickly on weekends and during peak season, though it frees up fast on quieter days.
Bring water and waste bags
No restrooms, water fountains, or trash facilities exist on the beach despite its two-mile length.
Watch for rocks and sharp terrain
Bring sandals or shoes as the beach has pebbles, rocks, and slippery formations beyond the sand.
