The beach is an excellent destination for those who love to hike and explore the bluffs. The serene waters and breathtaking scenery make for an unforgettable experience. The added bonus of free parking on Sundays makes it a delightful treat. The restrooms are well-maintained and the hike is a gentle slope, making it accessible for all.

A picturesque location with a delightful trek down to the shoreline. It proved to be a challenge to secure a parking spot at 5am during low tide, but the effort was worthwhile! The tide pools were teeming with marine life, providing a fascinating sight. Before embarking on the journey, it is recommended to review the trail updates on the website and wear appropriate footwear with a sturdy grip. There is a brief stretch of the path that is quite steep and covered in rocks and sand, leading to the beach below.

This is an amazing beach that you must visit! A short hike down leads you to a secluded beach that is often overlooked by drivers passing by. The beach is usually empty, with only a few people strolling along the shore. It's the perfect spot to catch a breathtaking sunset.

This location is a true gem, with the added bonus of fascinating tide pools to explore. It's important to come prepared with sturdy hiking boots, as the beach is littered with sharp rocks. Water shoes are also a must-have for exploring the tide pools, which are an absolute delight. The ideal time to visit is during the lowest tide, which typically occurs one day prior to a Full or New Moon. During super low tide, the tide pools are even more impressive. For those seeking a bit of adventure, the short and easy hike up to the top of the rock offers breathtaking views that are not to be missed.
