Arrive early on summer weekends
The parking lot fills quickly and closes when full, forcing visitors to walk a mile from street parking.
Visit fall or late afternoon for peace
Summer brings crowds and loud music that disrupt the experience, while fall and evening visits offer quiet and solitude.
Expect occasional train noise
A railroad runs directly above the beach and trains pass regularly, creating loud but brief interruptions during your visit.
