Game schedules are fixed, and road traffic builds on weekends. If you leave after mid-morning, the drive can take 30 to 60 minutes longer. Early departure keeps the plan steady and avoids delay.<\/span>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Access is another factor. Many beaches have parking limits and seasonal entry rules. Some need beach badges in peak season. If you arrive late, parking may be far from the entrance or you may need to wait.
