Guide
Good to know
Get parking permit before arrival
A $12 annual beach parking permit is required and available at gas stations like Stripes, not at the beach entrance.
Arrive by 9-10am on weekends
Weekend parking spots on the beach fill quickly by late morning, especially during peak season.
Watch for jellyfish and tar balls
Jellyfish appear regularly at shore, and tar balls occasionally wash up and stick to skin and belongings.
