Guide
Good to know
Ideal for visiting with dogs
Over half the beach is designated dog-friendly with calm water and a community of respectful owners, though cleanliness varies.
Visit October through May for solitude
Winter and off-season visits offer peaceful conditions, crystal-clear water, and excellent hiking trails along the cliffs.
Wear water shoes without fail
The beach is covered in large pebbles and rocks that extend into the water.
Arrive early in summer months
The parking lot fills with campervans by late morning, and the beach becomes noticeably crowded on weekends and peak season.
Navigation requires GPS, not signage
Official signs and Google Maps directions are unreliable; use Waze or a GPS app to find the dirt.
