Arrive early to secure parking
Paid parking began June 1st and the lot fills quickly in summer, with visitors reporting difficulty finding spaces.
Expect afternoon shadow by 1:30pm
The beach faces east, so the sand gets shaded around 1:30pm on sunny days.
Coarse sand catches easily between toes
Reviewers consistently note the sand is coarse and clings to skin, flip-flops, and clothing.
