Guide
Good to know
Plan for a rocky shoreline
Large boulders line the water's edge, creating small coves with calm water but limiting swimming space.
Visit weekday evenings or off-season
The beach is noticeably quieter after 5pm during summer and nearly empty in fall through spring.
Arrive before 10am on summer weekends
Parking lots reach capacity by late morning on nice days, and staff turn away cars despite empty spaces.
Bring your own trash bag
There are no trash cans anywhere on the beach, and litter accumulates visibly throughout the day.
Bring food and drinks
Food trucks are unreliable and no permanent concessions exist; the ice cream truck is expensive.
