Guide
Good to know
Reported good with little kids
Visitors often mention shallow or calm water. This is what reviewers report, not a safety assessment.Mentioned by 8 visitors · 2017–2026
Explore at low tide
Low tide exposes extensive flats, tide pools, and opportunities to find shells and sea glass across multiple beach areas.
Visit early morning or off-season
Reviewers consistently praised quiet, uncrowded conditions when arriving before 10am or visiting in fall and winter months.
Secure food in your car at night
Raccoons are extremely aggressive after dark and will systematically attempt to enter tents and raid coolers.
Plan for a small, rocky beach
The main beach is modest in size with rock hunting and tide pools rather than sandy swimming areas.
Expect a city park feel while camping
RV and tent sites occupy a parking lot with minimal trees, nearby noise from events, and limited amenities.
