Guide
Good to know
Reported good with little kids
Visitors often mention shallow or calm water. This is what reviewers report, not a safety assessment.Mentioned by 12 visitors · 2015–2026
Best for surfers and bodyboarders
T-Street has a legendary reputation for consistent, mellow waves that work for both beginners and experienced surfers.
Visit July or August for warmth
May and June bring June Gloom with cold, cloudy conditions; summer months offer reliably sunny and warm weather.
Wear water shoes for comfort
The beach has significant rocks and rough sand that make barefoot walking challenging and potentially painful.
Arrive early for parking
Parking is extremely limited in this residential area, with most spaces metered and costly at 25 cents per 10 minutes.
Bring quarters for meters
Parking meters accept only quarters, not credit cards, so come prepared with sufficient coins.
