Guide
Good to know
Go for sunsets and quiet
The beach excels as a peaceful spot with excellent harbor views and minimal crowds, especially on weekdays.
Budget $45–$58 for parking
Out-of-town visitors face a daily fee that many reviewers noted as steep for the beach's small size.
Visit in shoulder seasons
The beach is gated in summer and requires a town sticker; April and weekday visits avoid crowds.
Bring a camera after dark
The beach gets very dark at night, making it ideal for photography but less suitable for evening swimming.
