Low tide significantly expands the usable beach area, making it ideal for walking or finding space during busy times.
Arrive early or visit off-season
The parking lot fills by early afternoon on summer weekends, though the beach itself rarely feels overcrowded.
Check parking gate hours
The parking lot gates close at 8 PM and citations are issued for cars remaining after that time.
Water is cold year-round
Even in summer, swimmers report the ocean temperature is noticeably cold compared to other coastal areas.
