Walk the shore at low tide
Low tide reveals soft sand and tide pools; the beach connects to nearby Matador Beach within a ten-minute.
Watch the sunset, not sunrise
Multiple visitors praised evening visits for rock formations and calm atmosphere, while one explicitly warned against sunrise viewing.
Wear sturdy shoes with grip
The wooden stairs are steep, potentially slippery from sand and moisture, and at least one visitor slipped and was injured.
Arrive early on weekends
Free street parking is available but very limited, especially in summer; arriving early improves chances of nearby spots.
Bring your own water and snacks
No public restrooms or food facilities exist on the beach, so plan accordingly before heading down.
