Tips from locals
Lovely beach with a coffee shop and restaurant right off of it, check out the Ukulele Club on Saturday mornings at 10am.
Relatively quieter beach. Fire pits at certain times of the year. Must be reserved way in advance by showing up early and staking a 'claim' over the pit by sitting around and shooing off everyone else who tries to grab the spot. :-)
