Guide
Good to know
Best for young children
The beach slopes gradually with calm, shallow water at low tide, making it ideal for toddlers and small kids.
Visit on warm, calm summer days
Water is notably warm compared to other East Coast beaches, but the beach gets very windy and less.
Plan around the $20 parking fee
Daytime parking costs $20 unless you arrive after 4:30pm, but walking from nearby accommodations is a common alternative.
Bring cash for the parking attendant
Payment is collected at a gate during operating hours rather than at a kiosk or app.
Leave dogs at home in summer
Dogs are prohibited from Memorial Day through Labor Day, though enforcement appears inconsistent.
