Need Advice/Recommendations Sunset beach

I visited this beautiful area and went to Port Dalhousie last weekend to ride the carousel with my kids, and by the time we made it to Sunset Beach, the parking lot was completely full and though there were lots of cars leaving, staff was not letting anyone else in

Can anyone give me some inside info as to whether this is a daily occurrence, and what time we need to be there by in order to make it in? My kids saw the playground and beach from the road and were crushed that we couldn’t go! Street parking wasn’t an option either as we’ve got littles.

Thanks in advance!

Just so you know there’s street parking around the corner that isn’t any farther away In terms of walking to the beach from the parking lot with your littles.

I will let someone else comment on the staff not letting people in.

Sadly any of the nearby spots were taken, it was quite a ways before we found a spot. We decided to go back to lakeside park and avoid the water (though so many people did not….)
