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 25 visitors · 2016–2026
Experience the tidal marsh channel
At high tide, a natural current flows through the marsh inlet that creates a gentle floating experience.
Visit at low tide
Shallow tidal pools and sandbars emerge, creating ideal conditions for children to wade and hunt for hermit crabs.
Bring water shoes
The beach is rocky with sharp shells and stones that can scratch bare feet, especially on the approach.
Arrive after 4:30pm or off-season
Resident parking stickers are required during summer daytime hours; unrestricted parking is available after attendants leave or during off-season.
Watch for jellyfish
Jellyfish occasionally appear in the water and washed up on the beach, with stings reported as more common.
