Visit on weekdays for solitude
Weekday mornings offer a peaceful, uncrowded experience, while weekends and afternoons attract families and larger crowds.
Bring water shoes or watch for rocks
Sharp rocks and shells line the water entry and beach, causing cuts and foot injuries if unprotected.
Keep dogs on a long leash always
State law requires leashes at all times; staff actively enforce this, and some owners test the rule.
Budget $10 daily or buy yearly pass
Day entry costs $10; a $20 annual pass is available and recommended by multiple visitors.
