Check tide charts before going
The tunnel is only passable at low tide; high tide blocks access and traps you on the far beach.
Arrive early for parking
Parking fills quickly, especially on weekends; some reviewers recommend parking along the highway instead of the main lot.
Wear sturdy shoes with grip
The tunnel floor and surrounding rocks are uneven, wet, and slippery; good traction prevents twisted ankles.
