Arrive early in off-season
Summer weekends fill the small parking lot quickly, but the beach is quiet on rainy weekdays and off-season days.
Wear sturdy closed-toe shoes
The descent involves rocky terrain, slippery kelp-covered rocks, and loose gravel where sandals or poor footwear cause difficulty.
Watch incoming tides closely
Tide timing is critical because rising water can trap you on rocks or cut off your exit route.
