This is a free outdoor attraction with public restrooms available nearby. Street parking along Main Road is available but can be limited on busy days. Several cafes and restaurants line the road across from the promenade for snacks and meals.

Open year-round. Summer (December to February) offers the warmest weather but stronger winds. Winter (June to August) can be rainy and chilly, but clear days provide spectacular mountain views. Sunset visits are magical in summer months.
