Watch the tide
Plan your booking and beach access around high and low tide; low tide exposes sand ripples and makes walking to the setup easier.
Bring beverages
Guests bring their own drinks; pack coolers and leave glass at home to protect barefoot beachgoers.
Dress for wind
Even warm evenings can be breezy—bring a wind-blocking layer and closed shoes for comfort on the sand.
Reserve early for groups
Minimum six guests and setup time means bookings can fill on holiday weekends—reserve early for special dates.
