Best for soft sand and sunsets
The distinctive cool white quartz sand stays soft and never gets hot, and the location offers excellent sunset views.
Visit on weekdays or shoulder season
The beach is noticeably quieter when vacationers leave and before snowbirds arrive, offering more space to spread.
Arrive early on weekends
The small lot with 12-20 spaces fills quickly on nice days, sometimes requiring an hour of circling before paid parking.
No facilities, bring what you need
There are no restrooms, water fountains, or chair rentals at this access point, so plan accordingly.
Wear shoes for the walk
Sand spurs line the path down to the beach, so comfortable footwear prevents painful surprises.
