Guide
Good to know
Go for quiet reflection
This beach suits people seeking solitude, nature sounds, and coastal views rather than active recreation or socializing.
Visit at low tide
The beach expands significantly and reveals tide pools and shells worth exploring.
Reported good with little kids
Visitors often mention shallow or calm water. This is what reviewers report, not a safety assessment.Mentioned by 2 visitors · 2014–2025
Arrive early, especially afternoons
The small four-space parking lot fills up and afternoon visits become noticeably busier.
Expect pebbles, not sand
The beach is primarily small to medium black pebbles rather than sandy, which affects comfort for sitting and walking.
Prepare for steep stair access
The descent to the beach involves a non-ADA trail and stairs that require moderate fitness to navigate both directions.
