Arrive very early for parking
Only about five spaces exist, and the lot fills quickly on busy days requiring extended searching.
Wear water shoes or sandals
Shell shards litter the shoreline and require careful foot placement when entering the water.
Plan for one entry and exit
Only a single road leads in and out, so expect traffic congestion during peak arrival and departure times.
