Use the status source, not an old beach report
Hours and fees come from the Recreation.gov listing; the Gateway status marker is a separate signal and may lag. Conditions and closures can change, so the district closure link, not a past report, is the source to check before leaving.
Entry rules for the beach area
The Recreation.gov notice says occupants must stay in their vehicle when entering the beach area and that foot traffic into the beach area is prohibited, while the fee text also lists a $2 walk-in fee. The sources differ, so this guide uses the narrower claim: plan on vehicle entry and confirm at the gate. Pets are not allowed, per the same listing.
