Haven’t been there since December. If things are still the same, 6am is when you are allowed to park. If you get there at that time or shortly after, you will have parking. They do fill up fast tho. Plenty of street parking tho. Just a matter of wheeling it further. Parking is free and there’s about 15-20 spots roughly.

I was just there. Parking "opens" at 6 but the lot is always open. Make sure you park on the side that says beach parking then short walk through the sand or down the concrete ramp to the beach. Free wash off showers too. Parking is free and doubles in size to both sides on the weekends
