Expect shallow water extending far out
The beach slopes gradually so you can wade dozens of feet from shore in shallow water.
Visit on weekdays for solitude
Weekdays draw few visitors while weekends fill with families, music, and food vendors.
Check flag warnings before entering water
Red flags indicate strong currents and large waves; yellow means caution; green means calm conditions.
Wear shoes until reaching the water
Broken glass and cigarette butts litter the sand near the entrance and sidewalk areas.
Bring water to rinse off afterwards
The beach lacks public bathrooms or outdoor showers for cleaning sand from your body.
