Guide
Good to know
Come for sunsets and walks
The beach excels as a scenic spot for evening strolls along the promenade with views of the estuary.
Go on calm, sunny days
One reviewer explicitly recommends sunny weather with little to no wind to enjoy the setting properly.
Visit at high tide
At low tide the beach shrinks dramatically, requiring a long walk to reach deeper water.
Expect shells and stones underfoot
The sand is mixed with abundant broken shells and rocks that can be uncomfortable to walk on.
Watch for loose dogs and boat debris
Reviewers report loose dogs leaving excrement on the beach and boats taking up sand space.
