Guide
Good to know
Go for sunset, not swimming
Nearly every positive review highlights the sunset view; water swimming receives minimal mention.
Wear water shoes or boots
The beach is rocky throughout, making barefoot wading uncomfortable and potentially hazardous.
Visit off-season for fewer crowds
Summer brings significant crowds; one reviewer noted dogs are unlimited off-season but restricted in summer.
Watch for the rock path carefully
A rock jetty extends into the water and offers scenic views, but requires careful footing.
