Guide
Good to know
Bring wind protection
The beach is very windy; the dunes provide natural shelter, and reviewers recommend them for days when wind is strong.
Come for solitude and walking
The beach is quieter than nearby alternatives and suited to strolling along the sand and dunes rather than crowded sunbathing.
Expect cold water and big waves
The water is consistently described as cold, and the beach attracts surfers with its powerful, reliable surf.
Visit at low tide
At high tide waves break directly on shore.
Some shade is available
Visitors mention trees, cliffs or umbrellas to get out of the sun.Mentioned by 4 visitors · 2018–2026
Arrive early for parking
The lot is small and fills by mid-morning on good weather days, especially in summer and August.
