This public beach has lifeguards on duty from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Dogs are not permitted on the beach from May to October. You can fish and surf here, but only before 9am and after 5:30pm. There are several walkway access points to the beach. You are asked to use only these walkways in order to avoid destroying the sand dunes.
