    Very rocky here this year (2013, Aug). Far left side had the least amount of rocks but also the most people. We still like the location though. Parking police are very strict!

    Remember the tide times! Don't set your place near the water or you will have to relocate further up the dry beach.

    Get there early for prime beach spot. Don't sit too close to water, when the tide comes in you'll have to relocate

    Beach can get real crowded at high tide, but it's the best place to be!

    If this beach is too crowded go to Long Sands. But not at high tide -there IS NO beach then!
