Guide
Good to know
Beachcomb at low tide only
Tidal flats expand significantly at low tide, revealing more area for exploring rocks, agates, and shells.
Visit for sunset and jet watching
The beach offers excellent views of Navy fighter jets from the nearby base and impressive sunset views toward.
Stay within parking lot width
Public beach access extends only about 100-200 feet wide, directly in front of the parking area, with private.
Go on weekdays or off-season
The small beach becomes crowded on hot summer weekends despite free parking and ample space in the lot.
Read the boundary sign first
A sign near the parking lot marks the public area, though it may be obscured by parked vehicles or vandalized.
