Guide
Good to know
Come for sunset
The dark sand and rocky coastline create dramatic lighting effects as the sky colors change.
Dogs are welcome leashed
The beach is dog-friendly, though one reviewer notes keeping a leash handy in case other dogs are present.
Visit at low tide
Tide pools filled with sea stars, anemones, and other creatures become accessible on the flats.
Wear sturdy shoes
The beach has dark gray sand, scattered rocks, driftwood, and slippery surfaces that require careful footing.
Bring your own trash bags
There are no trash cans in the parking lots, so plan to pack out what you pack.
