Check tide times for cave exploration
Low tide exposes more beach and makes it easier to access the notable sea cave and rock formations.
Wear sturdy closed-toe hiking shoes
The descent to the beach is steep, rocky, and slippery with loose dirt, causing many visitors to slip.
Arrive early on weekends for parking
Roadside parking is very limited and fills quickly, especially on nice weekends and holidays.
Visit during weekdays if seeking solitude
The site becomes crowded on weekends but remains peaceful on weekday visits.
