Guide
Good to know
Kelp washes up on the sand
Visitors mention kelp along the tideline.Mentioned by 9 visitors · 2017–2026
Best for walking and surfing
The long, wide beach and consistent swell make it ideal for beach walks and catching waves, not sheltered swimming.
Expect consistent wind
Multiple visitors noted this beach is rarely calm, so plan for windy conditions rather than treating calm weather as typical.
Bring sun protection regardless
Even on cooler-seeming days, sun exposure here causes severe sunburn, so sunscreen is essential year-round.
Check for kelp after storms
Post-storm visits bring heavy kelp buildup with strong odors and flies that can make the beach unpleasant.
