Guide
Good to know
Come for scenic views and walking
The coastline offers striking vistas of the lighthouse, mansions, and ocean, ideal for photography and peaceful strolls.
Expect a rocky, colorful shoreline
This is a tumbled-rock beach, not sand, with beautifully colored stones smoothed by wave action.
Parking is severely limited
Only a few spaces exist across from the beach, and residents may require parking stickers during peak times.
Visit in off-season or evening
Come on quiet weekdays, in winter, or at dusk to avoid the few parking spots filling.
