Guide
Good to know
Plan around the tide
Come at high tide for the warmest water and best swimming, or low tide for extensive shallow flats to explore.
Visit for warm, protected swimming
The bayside location offers bathwater-warm water and shelter from ocean wind and surf.
Reported good with little kids
Visitors often mention shallow or calm water. This is what reviewers report, not a safety assessment.Mentioned by 3 visitors · 2017–2023
Arrive early in summer
The parking lot is very small and fills quickly on warm weekends and high season days.
Bring bug spray in summer
Sand flies and no-see-ums can be present depending on conditions, so repellent may help you stay comfortable.
Bring cash for parking fee
A town sticker and proof of residence are required to park, though free parking is available.
