Guide
Good to know
Ideal for toddlers and young swimmers

Visit for sunset views
The western exposure and calm water create beautiful sunset conditions, popular with locals for evening visits.
Arrive early on summer weekends
The parking lot fills by late morning during peak season, though plenty of spaces remain on weekdays.
Expect rocks near the waterline
Sand closer to the parking lot is soft, but the swimming area contains scattered pebbles and rocks.
Secure food before seagulls arrive
Aggressive seagulls will swoop down and steal food directly from hands and blankets throughout the day.
