Guide
Good to know
Go for sunset views and walks
Reviewers consistently praise the spectacular sunsets and scenery from this spot.
Ideal for young children
Shallow, calm water with rocks and mollusks to explore, plus shower facilities and ramp access make it welcoming for families.
Visit at low tide
High tide shrinks the beach to just a few meters, making it cramped even with small crowds.
Expect odor from treatment plant
The beach sits next to a water treatment facility, and reviewers report frequent unpleasant smells and summer spill warnings.
Arrive early to find parking
Parking is tight and some reviewers report difficulty or lack of parking, especially in season.
