Bring a camera for sunsets
The rock formations, tide pools, and coastal light create outstanding photography opportunities, especially during golden hour.
Visit at low tide
Tide pools teem with sea urchins, crabs, and anemones when water recedes, but afternoon visits often miss them entirely.
Arrive early on weekends
The small beach fills by mid-morning on Saturdays and Sundays, with noticeably fewer crowds before 10am.
Wear water shoes or boots
Sharp rocks cover the beach and underwater areas, causing foot injuries without proper footwear.
Park in nearby neighborhoods
Street parking is free but extremely limited; try side streets near Poppy Avenue rather than the beach access point.
