Plan your entry around slack water to get a manageable window before the current builds. Thick exposure protection is advisable year-round, as water temperature drops to 7C in winter even if summer peaks reach 20C.
Park your car on the roadside. The stairs at the entry point end in the water at high tide. At low tide, they lead to a pebble beach ending in a row of basalt blocks.
