If you're planning to try kayaking, go early! I went around 10 am, and the lines got super long by noon. I suggest getting there right at 9 to beat the rush.

Make sure you bring lots of water! I ran out really quick, and it can get super hot during the day. I think a hydration pack is a great investment if you plan to hike.

The driving along the Gorge is stunning, but don’t rush! I suggest setting aside a whole day for stops and views. You don’t wanna miss the best photo spots that pop up around every corner.

I think you should try to catch the sunset; it’s absolutely stunning around 7:30 PM. Don’t forget your camera! The colors were just breathtaking!

If you want to avoid the hassle, download a local map offline. I lost data signal when I got there, and it made finding my way back a bit tricky.

My advice is to visit during the week, especially on Tuesday or Wednesday. The beach was way less crowded, and I got the best spot to soak up the sun!

Check out the beachside restaurants for lunch deals – some have fixed-price menus that are way cheaper than ordering a la carte. I saved a bunch that way.

My advice is to bring your own beach umbrella if you can. The rentals can be pricey, and finding shade is crucial in the afternoon heat.

If you’re into water sports go to the beach around 4 PM. The rates drop a bit and it’s less crowded so you can enjoy without feeling rushed.

For a chill day, I suggest bringing some snacks and drinks from a local store. It saved me money instead of buying overpriced beachside refreshments!

I suggest arriving early, around 9:30 am, to beat the crowds. The caves are a lot more enjoyable when they're not packed with people, trust me!

Don't forget your swim gear! The water is stunning, and you'll want to take a dip after that hike. Just be careful; it can get slippery on the rocks!

If you're hiking in, be prepared for some steep trails. I didn't think it would be that tough! A good pair of hiking shoes makes a big difference

Don’t miss the chance to catch the sunset by the shoreline at the park—it's stunning. I stumbled upon it by chance and it completely made my visit.

Visit the park on a weekday morning if you want to avoid the crowds. I went on a Saturday and it was bustling, which took away from the peaceful vibe

Parking can be a nightmare, especially on weekends. I suggest using public transport or ride-sharing to save yourself the hassle. You’ll enjoy your visit way more without stressing over parking!

I recommend exploring the nearby cliffs for some stunning views. The trail is easy to find and offers a perfect photo op away from the crowds.

I really enjoyed snorkeling, so my advice is to bring your gear or rent it nearby. The underwater life is surprisingly vibrant!

Snacks and water are essential! I spent way more on food at the top than I thought I would. Just grab a sandwich and drinks at the base to save some cash.

My advice is to check the tide schedules in advance! I missed out on the best beach area 'cause I didn't realize the tide was coming in.

If you're keen on swimming, try to get in by around 3 PM. The water was perfect then, but by evening it started to get chilly, and I regretted not jumping in sooner!
