Guide
Good to know
Visit at sunset for photos
The dramatic cliffs and rock formations, including Shark Fin Rock, are most striking in evening light.
Arrive early for parking
The small gravel lot fills quickly, especially on weekends and summer days.
Wear sturdy hiking shoes
The descent uses steep rocky terrain with a rope assistance and slippery sections requiring careful footing.
Skip swimming, explore instead
Large sneaker waves and cold water make swimming unsafe, but tide pools, caves, and a natural rock arch reward exploration.
