Visitor & Driver Tips

As this is a popular coastal park, spaces fill up quickly during peak midday hours and on sunny weekends. Arriving early in the morning (before 10:00 AM) or later in the afternoon for sunset viewing is strongly recommended to secure a stall. Always lock your rental vehicle, roll up all windows, and avoid leaving visible valuables, luggage, or electronic equipment inside your car while enjoying the beach or exploring the town.
