Guide
Good to know
Come for rock and shell hunting
Reviewers consistently report finding agates, sea glass, colorful stones, and shells across the beach.
Visit at low tide
Tide pools, Devil's Punchbowl cave access, and agate hunting are only possible when the tide.
Wear sturdy shoes with grip
The steep gravel path down and rocky beach become dangerously slippery when wet, especially with green algae.
Avoid high tide in Devil's Punchbowl
Rising tide can trap you inside the cave, and storm surge adds serious danger.
Plan for the uphill walk back
The steep path down is manageable but the return climb is noticeably harder and not accessible for disabled visitors.
