Guide
Good to know
Walk the long promenade at low tide
The beach widens dramatically at low tide, and the connected promenade stretches for hundreds of yards with views.
Expect coarse, gravelly sand
The beach was artificially replenished and lacks the fine sand it once had, making it uncomfortable to walk on barefoot.
Water is very cold year-round
Even in summer the Atlantic water stays cold; winter swimming is not practical for most visitors.
Watch for strong waves and currents
Waves can be rough; lifeguards flag dangerous conditions, especially in the central beach area.
