Facilities are well-maintained, with changing rooms and snack options, though the popularity of the park means the area can be quite busy, especially on weekends.
Tips for Visitors
Plan to visit early in the day or on weekdays to avoid the largest crowds. Bring swimwear and towels, as clothing is required for swimming here. Admission requires a fee, so check the park’s website for current prices and schedules. Snorkels and kayaks are welcome, but be ready for a bustling, social environment rather than a secluded retreat.
