Guide
Good to know
Excellent for wildlife spotting
Visitors frequently report seeing sea lions, orcas, eagles, and hawks from the beach and trails.
Plan for a moderate forest hike
Expect a walk through wooded trails from the parking area to reach the beach and lighthouse.
Park at Discovery Park instead
Only 6-7 permit spaces exist at the beach; most visitors park at the main Discovery Park lot and hike.
Visit on clear weather days
Go during fair weather; fog and rain reduce visibility of the views that make the trip worthwhile.
Use bathroom before arriving
No bathrooms are available at the beach, so plan accordingly before the hike.
