Guide
Good to know
Best for families and picnics
Clean restrooms, picnic tables, grills, covered shelter, and open grassy areas make it ideal for group outings.
Expect easy, short hikes
Multiple trail options range from 1.8 miles to short walks with excellent views but varying accessibility.
Plan around low tide
Tide pools teeming with sea life are the beach's main attraction and only accessible when water recedes.
Visit on clear weather days
Scenic views and peaceful atmosphere are maximized during good weather, not on rainy days.
