Watch out for sneaker waves! I thought I could just get a quick shot near the shoreline, but I got soaked. Stay at a safe distance from the water, trust me!
Plan to visit around sunset, around 7-9 PM depending on the time of year. The golden hour makes the basalt columns and waves look magical in photos.
Diamond Beach

Bring snacks and water with you! There are no facilities nearby, so I wished I had packed a picnic to enjoy while taking in the views.
Wear sturdy footwear! The black sand can be uneven and the ice can be slippery. I slipped on the ice and learned my lesson the hard way.

My advice is to bring snacks and water, especially if you plan on hanging out for a while. There's nothing nearby, and you don't want to waste time making a run for supplies!
I suggest you wear sturdy shoes! The walk to the plane is a bit longer than it looks, and flip-flops won’t cut it. I wore my sneakers, and they made the trek way easier

Don't forget to bring cash for the entrance fee! I almost forgot and had to scramble to find an ATM. Also, a good pair of walking shoes will make exploring the dunes and Black Mountains way more enjoyable
