Low tide reveals tide pools perfect for exploring and extends the shallow swimming area significantly.
Visit early morning for sunrises
The sunrise lasts about 20 minutes and creates dramatic colors over calm water with minimal crowds.
Reported good with little kids
Visitors often mention shallow or calm water. This is what reviewers report, not a safety assessment.Mentioned by 4 visitors · 2018–2026
Arrive early to secure parking
The lot fills quickly on warm weekends, and some seasonal closures push parking a half-mile from the beach.
