Guide
Good to know
Go at low tide for tide pools
The beach reveals tide pools full of starfish, anemones, and other sea life when the water recedes.
Visit after storms for better rockhounding
Heavy rain or rough seas churn up fresh agates, while calm periods leave the beach heavily picked over by collectors.
Plan for a challenging uphill hike
The return climb is steep with elevation gain; older or less fit visitors should budget extra time.
Wear closed-toe hiking shoes
The trail can be muddy and slick, and the beach is covered in sharp rocks rather than sand.
Expect weekend crowds and plan accordingly
Weekends bring families and tourists; consider visiting on a weekday afternoon for a quieter experience.
