Guide
Good to know
Great for sunset and solitude
The beach offers uncrowded conditions, dramatic cliff views, and excellent sunset viewing, especially during off-peak hours.
Prime point break for surfers
Long, workable right-hand waves make this a quality surf spot with consistent rideable conditions.
Reported good with little kids
Visitors often mention shallow or calm water. This is what reviewers report, not a safety assessment.Mentioned by 2 visitors · 2019–2026
Park on PCH, arrive early
There is no dedicated lot, so street parking on Pacific Coast Highway can be stressful and fills quickly.
Watch for stair closures
The white staircase down Seagull Way occasionally closes due to beach erosion, creating a dangerous drop at the base.
Pack light for the stairs
The long staircase descent makes hauling heavy coolers difficult and unpleasant.
