Local tips

  • Arrive early on warm weekends and holidays to secure a convenient parking spot, as lots closest to the beach tend to fill before midday.
  • Bring or rent windbreakers on breezy days—coastal winds can be refreshing but strong, especially in spring and late summer.
  • Shallow water makes it very child-friendly but always keep an eye on young swimmers as currents can pick up beyond the sandbanks.
  • Snack kiosks may have limited options outside high season, so pack a picnic if visiting in spring or early autumn.
