Guide
Good to know
Sunset views and long beach walks
The wide sandy beach extends north for considerable distance with low crowds compared to nearby Laguna spots, ideal.
Arrive before 10am for parking
The main lot fills quickly, especially on weekends and in summer, but an overflow lot across PCH via.
Strong waves require experienced swimmers
The beach has steep shorebreak with powerful waves and currents that can be dangerous for weak swimmers or young children.
Plan ahead for fire pit rentals
Only two fire pits available, require 24-hour advance reservation, and locals arrive very early to claim them during peak season.
