Explore at low tide
Tide pools appear and the shoreline expands significantly, revealing rocks, shells, and sea glass.
Perfect for off-leash dogs
The east section allows dogs to run free, and most owners are responsible about cleanup and dog behavior.
Go early on weekends
The parking lot fills by mid-morning on busy days, though street parking is available nearby.
Wear sturdy footwear
The beach is covered with rocks, boulders, and black sand rather than typical sandy beach.
Restaurant on-site but expect waits
The Boathouse serves quality food with ocean views but rarely takes reservations and has long weekend waits.
