Guide
Good to know
Come in summer for comfort
Warm weather makes this spot more pleasant, and you may see wildlife like pelicans and otters in the river mouth.
Visit for sunset views
The offshore rock formations create a striking backdrop for evening light, making this a worthwhile destination for photographers.
Expect limited beach access
Direct shore access is unclear or restricted, so plan to view the beach from viewpoints rather than walk the sand.
Parking requires exploration
Spots near access points exist but may not be obvious, so arrive early and be prepared to scout nearby lots.
