Haigis Beach is small and requires a walk down stairs to gain entry to the beach. The stairway is near a lifeguard station which overlooks the beach and is above a man-made seawall. The beach area is separated by stone jetties and space on the beach can be limited during high-tide. Sand has a light mix of shells and seaweed with the grade to the water being gradual; wave size varies from small to medium with a strong undertow near the jetties.
