Excellent for sunset watching
Multiple reviewers specifically praise the sunset views as a highlight of visiting this beach.
Visit at low tide
The beach shrinks significantly at high tide, and sand flats expand considerably at low tide for walking and play.
Arrive early on weekends
Parking fills quickly on summer weekends and Sundays despite being free and plentiful on weekday mornings.
Watch for tar on skin
Oil residue from nearby pipes can stick to your body unnoticed and only be discovered after you leave.
Bring shade and water
There are no bathroom facilities at the beach, only poorly maintained porta potties, and no natural shade structures.

Questions
Common questions
How far is the walk to the water at Solimar?
150 ft in a straight line from the listing to the mapped shoreline, under a minute. Soft sand and dune make the real walk longer than the straight line.
Does Solimar have restrooms?
No restrooms are mapped within 600 m on OpenStreetMap. That means nobody has mapped any, which is not the same as there being none.
When is Solimar least busy?
Google visit patterns put the quietest hour at Mon 8am and the busiest at Sun 3pm.
Measured from OpenStreetMap, public aerial imagery and live conditions data, and counted from visitor reviews. Every source, in full.
