Bring dog friends anytime
Dogs are welcome and common here, making it an ideal spot for beach walks with pets.
Arrive early to beat crowds
Even midday sees fewer visitors than typical beaches, but mornings offer the most peaceful experience.
Watch for jet noise in afternoons
The beach sits near a navy landing strip where jets create extremely loud landings, particularly late afternoon weekdays.
Wear sturdy shoes for the walk
The sandy path from parking to beach entrance is long and hot underfoot, and parking requires a walk.
