Pick the size of the day

How much time do you actually have?

Half day4–5 hours

One beach, lunch and generous return margin.

Full day7–8 hours

One main beach, with a second supported stop only when the route, conditions and return margin work.

A useful first-trip rule

Do less. Leave margin.

A beach day becomes stressful when every transfer is treated as guaranteed. Choose fewer stops, carry water and a payment backup, and return toward the pier before the final possible minute.
