The site provides sheltered picnic tables, barbecue facilities, and public amenities to accommodate day visitors.

Insider tips

Bring a portable sunshade or picnic blanket if visiting on weekends, as the best shaded benches near the water fill up quickly.

Carry a small bag for your trash, as bins can overflow during peak summer holidays.

Check the local tide charts if you plan to walk along the water’s edge, as high tides can occasionally narrow the accessible bank.

What to avoid
