- Accessibility
- The city accessibility information says there are no accessible parking spaces near the beach and the fine-crushed-rock or sand route to the beach is rough. There is a standard toilet, but no accessible toilet. The dressing-room entrance has three consecutive steps, even though the dressing room has room for a wheelchair and assistant.
