Arrive early on sunny days
Parking fills quickly in summer when the weather is good, so plan to arrive before mid-morning.
Expect stairs and rocky entry
The beach requires descending many stairs from the park above, and the shoreline has scattered sharp stones.
Limited shower and fountain access
While showers exist, one reviewer found only one shower and one water fountain on the entire beach.
