Guide
Good to know
Explore tide pools at low tide
Exposed rocks reveal starfish, sea creatures, and interesting shells when the tide retreats, making exploration rewarding.
Arrive before 10am for parking
Street parking fills quickly on weekdays and especially weekends, making early arrival essential for a good spot.
Wear shoes you don't mind staining
Natural tar deposits coat the beach and are difficult to remove from sneakers and skin despite being easily cleaned initially.
Reserve camping spots far in advance
Campground fills months ahead and booking through the website now requires a reservation fee on top of nightly rates.
