Guide
Good to know
Reported good with little kids
Visitors often mention shallow or calm water. This is what reviewers report, not a safety assessment.Mentioned by 19 visitors · 2016–2026
Visit at low tide for tide pools
Sea life is most visible and exploration richest when the tide is low, typically between 6am and 2pm.
Check access status before visiting
Several tide pool areas have been closed indefinitely due to landslides and falling rocks, so confirm which trails.
Wear sturdy shoes for rocky terrain
The beach and trails involve substantial loose rocks and steep descents that exhaust calves and require solid footwear.
Park before 2pm to avoid rush
Arrive early enough to secure parking, which fills by late afternoon and costs $12 for stays over two.
