Guide
Good to know
Arrive early for wildlife viewing
Visitors report seeing crabs in the morning and turtles coming ashore.
Bring children for shallow exploration
The shallow tide pools behind the rock shelf let small children wade and observe crabs and other small creatures.
Plan for tide pools, not swimming
A rock shelf extends into the water, making the shallows good for exploring but unsuitable for swimming due.
Visit for sunrise or sunset views
Reviewers specifically praised the sunrise and sunset views.
Reported good with little kids
Visitors often mention shallow or calm water. This is what reviewers report, not a safety assessment.Mentioned by 2 visitors · 2016–2023
