This is a beautiful beach that can be enjoyed very differently during high and low tide. Depending on what experience you're looking for, it's best to check the website for information on the tides as well as the weather.
During high tide, it's a normal beach where you can swim or sunbathe. The water isn't too deep either, so an adult can walk pretty far out before needing to swim.

If you are after photos, I recommend going during the afternoon to secure parking and take photos both with the blue sky and the sunset. If you can, I also recommend bringing a tripod with a remote release for your camera or phone, but if you don't have that option, there are also very kind volunteers who will take your photo for you. They provide umbrellas for props and guide you through some poses. Do beware as it gets closer to sunset, the line for the volunteers gets very long. Every time I've visited, the atmosphere has been fun and people are very friendly. I've seen people offer to take photos for each other too. While there is the occasional person who doesn't pay attention and walks through the pools, most people are pretty respectful and try to pay attention to their...
