Season & hours

Tips

While the parking lot is free with space for approximately 140 vehicles, it may fill up early on summer weekends, so arriving early is recommended. Showers and toilets are available at no charge. Since operations close at 4:30 PM, plan to wrap up around 4 PM to allow time for changing.

Best time to visit

After 1 PM, the sun is stable and there's plenty of time to swim until closing in the evening.
