Expect stones at water entry
Fine sand covers most of the beach, but rocks line the entrance and shallow water in several spots.
Bring the parking app or cash
Parking is paid during peak season; the app makes payment simple and you pay only for time spent.
No showers, occasional facilities gaps
Restrooms exist but the town council removed showers to conserve water, frustrating some regular visitors.
