Go at low tide for beach space
At high tide the beach becomes mostly rocky and narrow; low tide reveals wide sand flats.
Visit for sunset views and walks
The park above offers benches, grassy areas, and clear views of the Channel Islands, making it ideal.
Check oil conditions before visiting
Natural tar seeps vary by day; strong petroleum smell and tar on skin/paws occur frequently enough to ruin visits.
Plan for the steep downhill path
Access requires walking down a steep paved hill; this is a 'nice little workout' but difficult for those.
Bring dogs for off-leash play
The beach allows dogs off-leash with a self-serve wash station available for ten dollars after beach time.
