Guide
Good to know
Arrive early morning for fewer crowds
This is consistently quieter than the main Oceanside pier, and one visitor saw dolphins at 7am in June.
Go for sunset views, not sunbathing
The rocky shoreline and narrow sandy stretch make it poor for lounging, but excellent for watching the sunset.

Check the tide before going
At high tide, the beach disappears almost entirely under water, leaving only rocks and the staircase exposed.
Expect stairs, not beach access ramps
Steep wooden and concrete stairs lead down to the beach, making it inaccessible for people using walkers or wheelchairs.
Bring your own supplies
Bathrooms are unmaintained, and there are no food vendors or facilities beyond benches and a lifeguard shack.

Measured from OpenStreetMap, public aerial imagery and live conditions data, and counted from visitor reviews. Every source, in full.
