Guide
Good to know
Arrive early in the morning
Morning hours give you hours to explore before tide returns and crowds increase on weekends.
Expect minimal parking and crowds
Narrow street parking at the top limits access naturally, keeping the beach quiet and peaceful.
Time your visit to low tide
The beach shrinks dramatically at high tide, and the rock descent becomes hazardous or impassable within hours.
Wear closed-toe hiking shoes
The final descent requires scrambling over sharp rocks with hands and feet, not a gentle walk down stairs.
Avoid high tide rock climbing
One visitor's friend fell and required rescue; others report getting trapped when tide rises faster than expected.
