Check the tide before visiting
The beach transforms dramatically with tides, offering different experiences and vastly different amounts of exposed sand.
Low tide pools warm shallow water
At low tide, shallow pools and lagoons form with warmer water than the open sea, hosting crabs and small fish.
Arrive before 11am in summer
The parking lot fills quickly on weekends and hot days, making early arrival essential for a comfortable spot.
Mind strong currents when water drains
When tides shift, currents between the estuary and sea become very strong and pose a genuine hazard to swimmers.
Bring your own food and drinks
Beach bars exist but may be closed or limited in hours; one reviewer found only a closed hut.
