Plan around the tidal cycle
Low tide reveals rock pools, hidden coves, and access to San Pedruco island; high tide covers these features entirely.
Visit September or off-season
Visitors report having the entire beach to themselves when traveling outside summer months.
Arrive before 10am in summer
Parking fills quickly on weekends, and the town becomes crowded during peak season.
Expect strong waves and wind
The Atlantic conditions can be rough some days, making swimming impossible, though surfers find excellent breaks year-round.
Bring cash for parking fees
Paid parking operates year-round in town and along the beach, with blue zone rates applied June to September.
