We've never had problems with parking our car at Green Sand - used to park near the house, but now we park nearer the boat launch area. Never ever leave anything valuable in the car.
Bring plenty of water for the hike out - & back. There is absolutely no shade and it is really windy. Bring & wear sunscreen!
Yes, as Oink said, there is a lot of trash washed ashore along that coastline - not at the beach, but along the way. (Now there's a place that could use a beach clean-up day.) And it doesn't really matter which of the many trails you take; they all end up at Green Sand or just above it, in which case you can opt to slide down the huge dune. We go round to the side though, and hike down the rocky trail.
Well worth a day trip, as long as you're prepared.
