Guide

Good to know

Excellent for calm-water snorkeling
Visitors report shallow water, clear conditions, and fish visible from shore without deep water swimming.
Visit for dramatic scenery and caves
A large cave across the road and towering cliff wall create striking views.
Reported good with little kids
Visitors often mention shallow or calm water. This is what reviewers report, not a safety assessment.Mentioned by 4 visitors · 2017–2026
Arrive by 8am for parking
The lot fills quickly, especially in summer, and visitors report having to turn back or drive elsewhere when full.
Avoid swimming November to March
Winter brings 3-8 foot swells, strong currents, and frequent closures posted by lifeguards.
Bring your own food and water
The beach is remote with limited nearby restaurants, though a food truck sometimes operates.
