Guide
Good to know
Best for families with young children
Shallow water, gradual drop-off, lifeguards every 100 meters, and soft sand make it ideal for small kids.
Visit after 5pm for free entry
Evening visitors often get free or discounted parking and a much quieter beach experience.
Arrive before 10am on weekends
Parking fills quickly during summer weekends, especially between 11am and noon.
Bring cash for parking
Daytime parking costs $25-$35 depending on day and residency status, and only cash or checks are accepted.
Check for red seaweed first
Algae blooms occasionally cover large sections of the beach with smelly, swimmy-unfriendly conditions.
