We were there in October, I believe usually weekends are more family oriented. We've been multiple times in recent years and I think week days are fine, either end of the beach are usually where there's CO people set up. We usually stay to the left side of the beach where there's some rocks for privacy, have never had any problems, but also we've learned not to go during the weekends to avoid the crowds. Hope this helps! Baie Rouge would be an option as well, 100-200 yards past the entrance is usually okay for CO
