Parking can get quite clogged up near the perch. If walking at all is an issue,I would recommend an early 9:00-10:00 arrival.

If the lot at Perch is full, you can always drop-off the ambulatorily impaired person at Perch, and drive a little way to park.
This way, there's less pressure to get there early.
Also... Regarding the ruins, while Carol advised against walking through, I did so on my visit in Feb 2023. I didn't feel unsafe, but then again, I'm a dude and the few locals lurking there there left me alone. I got the feeling they were working in sales, and I wasn't interested in buying anything. Having said that, there's little structural danger there. What's going to fall down has already done so.
Visit at your own risk.

Bill--I wasn't worried about structural danger. Just several people have reported folks hanging out in the ruins that made them uncomfortable.

Yeah. I get ya, Carol.
During my visit, I spoke to a couple women who were "cruise visitors." I started chatting them up after they took a walk to near the remains of the restaurant. They said that, while on their walk, that two different dudes offered to sell them weed.
I've walked through the ruins over the past several years, and I've never seen any obscene behavior. In fact, I've never seen any locals lingering there, so it's possible that the inappropriate activities might be anecdotal. If you go, be careful, though.
Also (not related to this discussion), the cruise women took selfies, with me in the background (I believe intentionally, so they can giggle while showing the photos to colleagues back home: "Look at that dude! He's NAKED!"). While I didn't like it, I just held the book I was reading up, blocking my face from the camera lens. While I didn't HATE that it occurred (I didn't say anything to them), I do miss the security that came with a functioning Club O.

Cedric & helpers have been seen to take cameras from voyeurs. Big sign No Photos! That works unless the person resists. Then what? Authorities can't do anything to enforce something that's not a law on a public beach.

But it IS a law. In France, it is illegal to take someone's picture without their permission, clothed or not.
