Getting around
Going to the Beach
The best time to go is in the morning. You will have better luck with parking and fighting traffic if you get to the beach before 9 am.
Book before you go
Call for Reservations
If you plan on having a nice dinner, the best thing to do is call to make reservations in order to avoid a long wait.
