Guide
Good to know
Go for walking and photography
The driftwood bone yard, lighthouse views, and graffiti trail make this ideal for exploring rather than swimming.
Visit early morning or evening
Midday sun on sand and concrete can be dangerously hot, and sunset brings large crowds plus biting insects.
Plan a 0.5 to 0.75 mile walk
The beach entrance requires walking a paved graffiti-covered path to reach the lighthouse area and calmer water.
Bring all food and supplies
No shops are nearby and prices in the area are significantly overpriced.
