Best for watching surfers and waves
The cove offers a panoramic view of the ocean and surfers from your car or a short walk.
Check tide tables before visiting
Low tide exposes a large beach with sand dollars, shells, and tide pools; high tide with king tides.
Arrive early on sunny days
Parking fills quickly during good weather and popular surf conditions, especially on weekends.
Watch for slippery rocks getting to sand
The beach requires navigating boulders to reach the sand, which can be treacherous when wet.
Bring a picnic and warm clothing
The beach is peaceful for sitting and eating takeout, but expect cold water, strong winds, and weather changes.
