Guide
Good to know
Explore tide pools at low tide
Reviewers observed small fish and crabs in tide pools, suggesting exploration works best when water recedes.
Go for sunsets, not swimming
The cove excels for viewing and photography, but reviewers note high surf and rough conditions for water activities.
Visit on weekdays, not weekends
The parking lot fills quickly on weekends, limiting access to this already small beach.
Bring your own water and shade
No facilities exist on-site, though some trees provide limited shelter near the small sand area.
