Arrive early to avoid crowds and seaweed
Early morning visits offer emptier beach and fewer seaweed patches, especially on weekends and in season.
Shallow water and calm conditions for swimming
The water stays shallow for a long distance and remains calm most days, making it ideal for swimming and floating.
Bring cash for the $4 entry fee
The day-use fee is collected at the gate and must be paid in cash.
Watch for wild horses and secure your food
Free-roaming horses will approach and steal unattended food and drinks, so store items securely or keep them with you.
Wear water shoes to avoid thorny seeds
Thorny plant seeds scattered across the beach can puncture skin and get stuck to clothing, especially near shaded areas.

Questions
Common questions
How far is the walk to the water at Sun Bay Beach?
80 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 Sun Bay Beach 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.
Measured from OpenStreetMap, public aerial imagery and live conditions data, and counted from visitor reviews. Every source, in full.
