Guide
Good to know
Best for photos and walks
Reviewers consistently praise the scenery for landscape photography, sunsets, and long solitary beach walks.
Visit at low tide
Reviewers report tide pools, extended beach flats, and a hidden cove accessible to the right at low tide.
Reported good with little kids
Visitors often mention shallow or calm water. This is what reviewers report, not a safety assessment.Mentioned by 3 visitors · 2017–2026
Arrive early for parking
The lot is consistently described as very small and fills quickly, forcing visitors to park on nearby roads.
Expect an uneven trail down
The path to the beach is narrow, unimproved, and subject to water runoff from rain, creating washouts.
Bring a wetsuit year-round
Ocean water remains around 50 degrees even in late June, making a wetsuit essential for swimming.
