Visit off-season for solitude
Fall and early spring offer sparsely populated beaches with the same clean facilities and beautiful scenery as summer.
Arrive early on summer weekends
The park reached capacity during peak season, forcing closure before the 2024 eclipse and confirming limited parking on hot days.
Bring cash for concessions
The camp store operates cash-only with an ATM on-site that may charge fees.
No dogs allowed on beach
Dogs are prohibited even on leash, though an adjacent wildlife management area to the south permits them.
