Visitor & Driver Tips

For the best experience, we recommend arriving at least 30 minutes before sunset if you are visiting for photography or waterfront activities, as the area can see increased traffic during twilight. Ensure your vehicle is locked and valuables are kept out of sight. As this is a high-traffic coastal corridor, always check local weather conditions and bridge traffic alerts if you are traveling during storm seasons.
