Guide
Good to know
Explore driftwood and tide pools
Massive bleached driftwood trees and accessible tide pools with sea creatures make this beach compelling for extended exploration.
Arrive early on weekends
The small parking lot fills by mid-morning on busy days, forcing overflow parking along the road.
Wear proper footwear
The beach is mostly small smooth pebbles and rocks, not sand, requiring hiking boots rather than flip-flops.
Expect windy, cold conditions
Even in spring and summer the beach is consistently cool and windy, requiring a jacket year-round.
