Questions
Common questions
Where do you park at East Beach?
The nearest mapped parking area is 300 m from the listed location. Positions come from OpenStreetMap, not from review text.
How far is the walk to the water at East Beach?
70 m in a straight line from the listing to the mapped shoreline, under a minute. Soft sand and dune make the real walk longer than the straight line.
Does East Beach have restrooms?
No restrooms are mapped within 600 m on OpenStreetMap. That means nobody has mapped any, which is not the same as there being none.
Measured from OpenStreetMap, public aerial imagery and live conditions data, and counted from visitor reviews. Every source, in full.
