Guide
Good to know
Go for sunset viewing
The south end is explicitly recommended for watching sunsets over the water and makes for memorable photography.
Visit during off-season or early morning
The beach is notably quiet and peaceful in late September or before 10am, with fewer visitors crowding the space.
Download the parking app beforehand
Payment is app-only; one visitor spent over 20 minutes struggling with poor reception and offline pay stations.
Check beach conditions before arrival
Sand levels can shift, creating unexpected drop-offs at the boardwalk exit that make beach access difficult.
Bring bug spray for sand flies
Sand flies are present and bite; reviewers noted no nearby shower facilities to rinse off sand afterward.
