Guide
Good to know
Time your visit to low tide
Tide pools clustered around the north-facing rocks reveal starfish, green anemones, hermit crabs, and hundreds of other creatures.
Expect a steep final descent
After a short walk and stairs, you'll scramble down rocks using an installed rope to reach the sand.
Come in shoulder season for solitude
Visitors report empty beaches in May and early June, while summer weekends and holiday periods draw crowds.
Bring water shoes for tide pooling
Reviewers explicitly recommend them for walking on barnacle-covered rocks and sharp pebbles.
