Fall offers the best views
October and autumn bring stunning foliage, fewer crowds, and excellent conditions for walking the boardwalk and pier.
Visit on weekdays or early morning
Summer weekends draw large crowds, especially around the swimming area, making it difficult to find space and parking spots quickly.
Swimming area is roped and heavily monitored
The designated swim zone is small, lifeguards enforce strict rules, and water closures due to bacteria testing are common.
Avoid evening hours after sunset
Multiple visitors report rowdy behavior, fights, and safety concerns once the sun goes down.
