Visit on weekday mornings for quiet

High tide brings waves that splash dramatically over rocks and the pool, creating an energetic and visually striking scene.
Arrive early to secure parking
The lot fills quickly, especially during summer evenings and around sunset when the beach is most popular.
Bring water shoes or sandals
The beach is covered in shells and rocks that can hurt bare feet when walking to the water.
Secure your belongings while swimming
Theft from unattended items has been reported when people are in the water or distracted.
