Visit at low tide for tidepooling
Rocks and shallow areas expose sea anemones, starfish, and tide pools at low tide for exploring.
Arrive early on weekends
Parking fills up by late morning on busy days, though the beach remains less crowded than nearby alternatives.
Plan for the uphill walk back
The paved ramp down to the beach is easy, but the return trip is noticeably steep and tiring.
Bring supplies before arriving
No nearby bathrooms, markets, or food vendors, so pack everything you need for the day.
