Guide
Good to know
Go early morning for clear water
Water appears clearest between 8 and 11am before most visitors arrive and before afternoon algae or sediment clouds.
Visit on weekdays or off-season
Weekday visits offer solitude and easy parking, while summer weekends and holidays pack the beach and create long entry lines.
Seaweed and sargassum vary seasonally
Expect significant seaweed buildup on some visits with accompanying fishy smell, though many visits show clean conditions.
Park on beach with day permit
Pay $15 for daily vehicle access or $30 for annual permit to park directly on sand; free parking.
