Local Tips

Shore entry is straightforward and the site has parking, toilets, changing rooms, and a café on site, so you can plan a full day without needing to bring everything with you. Pack a drysuit or a thick wetsuit year-round as the water gets cold, and cold water combined with disturbed sediment is the main reason visibility can collapse quickly.
