Guide
Good to know
Perfect for young children
The playground, lifeguards, mild undertow, short beach stretch, and family atmosphere make it ideal for toddlers and small kids.
Visit at low tide with kids
Tidal pools around rocks and ledges reveal crabs and snails, and the beach stretches wider for exploration and tide pooling.
Arrive early for summer parking
Paid parking ($25/day) is limited to about 20 spaces from June 15 to September 15, so arrive before.
Expect rocky, seaweed-filled beach
The small sandy area is surrounded by rocks and seaweed, which some find natural and charming while others.
Bring cash for parking
One visitor received a parking ticket due to unclear signage about the $25 daily fee required during peak season.
