Guide
Good to know
Come for sunset views
The western exposure and open vistas make this a destination for sunset photography and peaceful evening visits.
Plan a longer walk
The beach connects to nearby trails and the lighthouse area, making it suitable for extended exploring.
Visit off-season or after 5pm
Summer afternoons draw crowds, but early morning, evenings, and shoulder seasons offer the solitude this beach is known.
Bring cash for summer entry
Beach tags cost ten dollars per person during summer season, though the bay side requires no tags.
Expect limited parking
Street parking is available but sparse, so weekday visits are preferable to weekend trips.
