Guide
Good to know
Expect fewer crowds than nearby beaches
Reviewers consistently describe it as quiet and not overrun, unlike the public beach across the channel.
Come for sunset, not swimming
The beach excels for sunset viewing but lacks lifeguards, making supervised swimming unavailable.
Residents only, parking strictly enforced
You need a resident permit to park; violators receive tickets even with previous visits.
Arrive early if photographing sunrise
The beach opens late and closes quickly after sunset, limiting golden hour shooting time.
