Arrive early to park free
The metered lot fills by late morning; free parking is available at a dirt lot about five minutes walk away.
Bring a card or download the app
Parking requires the blue zone app or card payment; one reviewer spent over thirty minutes setting up.
Expect a steep shorebreak
The bottom drops sharply from shore; reviewers recommend life jackets for children and note the waves can be strong.
