Guide

Good to know

Come for the boardwalk and historic setting
The curved half-mile boardwalk, art deco architecture, and calm sheltered waters work well for walking, photography, or relaxing.
Visit October through April for dogs
The beach becomes an off-leash dog park during these months, with dozens of dogs running freely.
Expect to pay $20 parking plus per-person fees
Non-residents pay roughly $20 for parking and $4-15 per person for beach access, totaling significantly more than typical public beaches.
Arrive early or expect crowded conditions
Peak summer visits bring disorganized lines, poor signage, and parking lots that fill by mid-morning, forcing longer walks.
Check water and beach conditions beforehand
Multiple visitors report trash, seaweed, algae, and odor issues in the water; some experienced rashes after swimming.
