Guide

Good to know

Visit at low tide for swimming
At high tide access becomes difficult or impossible, but low tide reveals a wide gently sloping sandy beach.
Confirm access before visiting
Multiple recent reviews report the staircase closed for safety repairs, with barriers preventing entry.
Plan for steep stairs down
The descent involves 136 to 145 steps with historically poor railing conditions and width for only one person.
Go early in summer
The small parking lot fills by late morning on warm weekends, and afternoon crowds become rowdy and disruptive.
