Guide
Good to know
Best for young children
The long stretch of shallow water and soft sand makes this ideal for families with small kids.
Visit at low tide
Water stays shallow for a long distance, and rock pools reveal interesting sea life that kids enjoy exploring.
Arrive early on weekends
Parking is extremely limited with only about two spots available, filling quickly during busy periods.
Plan for no facilities
The beach has no toilets, shops, or fresh water taps, so bring supplies and use nearby Mattison Square if needed.
Swim when lifeguards present
Lifeguards are on duty weekends and peak season, but may be absent on quieter weekdays.
