I suggest bringing your own snacks and drinks, as the nearby cafes can get pricey. I brought a cooler, and it saved me a ton of cash for my beach day.

If you're keen to surf, rent your boards from local shops instead of the beach rentals—they offer better prices and equipment. So much better than what I found renting on-site!

I suggest grabbing breakfast at a local cafe before hitting the beach – it saves time, and trust me, you'll want to refuel after a morning surf! Check out the vibe at Bayleaf, the coffee's great.

You might wanna skip the beach parking lots and look for street parking instead. I found a spot a few blocks away, and it saved me $10 on parking fees. Plus, you'll get to enjoy a little walk!

I think you should bring your own snacks and drinks. There's a kiosk nearby, but it's a bit pricey. Packing a picnic can save you some cash and let you enjoy a nice lunch while taking in the views!

The Wreck is super popular, so I suggest getting there by 8 AM before the crowds show up. Trust me, the morning light on the water is just stunning! Plus, you'll have a better chance to snag a good spot on the beach.
