💡 Best visited in late afternoon when the heat drops and the park fills with life. No entrance fee, but a few vendors sell snacks cheaply.
💡 Go early morning (before 9am) to avoid crowds and get the best light for photos. Bring water shoes—the rocks are sharp.
💡 Go at sunrise or just before sunset to avoid crowds. Take sturdy sandals – the rocks are sharp and slippery. No changing facilities, so wear your swimsuit under clothes.
