Things to Keep in Mind…

Pebbly Terrain: Water shoes are recommended for comfort.
Seasonal Crowds: The beach can get busy in July and August, especially near the organized sections.
Limited Shade: Bring sun protection, as natural shade is scarce.
Boat Traffic: Water sports and boat rentals mean occasional activity in the water.
