Guide
Good to know
Explore tide pools and rock formations
The cove offers tide pools with marine life and rock climbing opportunities during low tide conditions.
Visit at low tide only
The beach becomes virtually unusable at high tide, with water covering most of the sand and limiting where.
Arrive before mid-morning on weekends
The small parking area has only a couple of street spots and fills quickly on summer days.
Wear water shoes for rocky bottom
The cove has a predominantly rocky beach and rocky underwater bottom that requires protection.
