Old Silver Beach Insider Tips
- Make sure to keep an eye on your child while swimming and be aware of the tides, as the currents can be strong at high tide. Lifeguards are also provided to help maintain beach safety.
- Bring along a pair of water shoes or other footwear to protect your feet from seashells and rocks on parts of the beach.
- Arrive early if you want to beat the crowds! On nice days, the parking area often fills up before 10:00 in the morning, so you'll want to show up early or ride a bike to the beach instead.
- Be aware that you will be required to pay a $20 beach fee.
