Guide
Good to know
Come for sunset views
Multiple reviewers praised sunsets here, though note that cliff formations block the sunset from certain spots on the beach.
Visit in summer for crowds
During summer the beach gets busy enough that local territoriality becomes less of an issue.
Plan parking carefully
A parking lot costs $45 unless you spend over $30 at the cafe, which reviewers note has mediocre coffee.
Expect rocky sections and seaweed
The beach has rocks throughout and seaweed present, so wear water shoes and plan accordingly.
Leave dogs at home
Dogs are technically prohibited and sheriff patrols the beach regularly, making enforcement a real risk.
