It is EXTREMELY CROWDED. You will NOT get in that beach unless you are there by 7:15am waiting at the entrance for it to open. I was there at 7:45 (they open at 8) and there were dozens of cars ahead of me that did not get in also. Sand Harbor opens back up at 5pm so that is when I went. Plan something other than Sand Harbor.
