Guide
Good to know
Explore multiple parking areas
Four distinct parking areas provide access, so check a few spots to find the activity level you prefer.
Plan to enjoy views from above
The steep stairs down to the water mean you can appreciate the bay views from the top before.
Navigate past the unmarked dirt road
The access point lacks signage and sits down an inconspicuous dirt road, so GPS alone may not feel convincing.
Wear water shoes for wading
Limited dry beach means most of the shoreline is wet, so footwear designed for water is practical.
