Guide
Good to know
Excellent for rock and mineral hunting
Visitors regularly find agates, quartz, garnets, and small gold flakes, with some reporting the best agate concentrations they've seen.
Reported good with little kids
Visitors often mention shallow or calm water. This is what reviewers report, not a safety assessment.Mentioned by 4 visitors · 2018–2026
High-clearance vehicle required
The access road has eroded significantly, and soft sand requires 4WD or all-wheel drive to avoid getting stuck.
Watch for sudden large waves
Even when tide is out, sneaker waves can surge far up the beach to the cliff line without warning.
Arrive early for parking
The lot accommodates only five to seven vehicles and fills during peak times.
