The beach area is impeccably maintained, with easy access to parking right on the beach and clean restrooms. The parking attendant was exceptionally friendly and helpful. While enjoying the beach, we were fortunate to spot seals and dolphins swimming not too far from shore. Despite the high demand for parking, we were able to secure a spot by paying the $15 fee for the lot on a Saturday morning. Our experience was so enjoyable that we are already planning our return visit.

The hike along the beach trail is a brief yet breathtaking experience that offers a stunning vista of the vast and majestic Pacific ocean. The entire loop spans a mere mile, with the trail running parallel to the sandy shore. Embark on this short but sweet journey to immerse yourself in the natural beauty of the coastline.

The beach is truly awesome, with a clean shoreline and a vigilant lifeguard on duty. It's easily accessible from the parking area, and there's plenty to do. Though it's not ideal for swimming due to the waves, you can take a leisurely stroll along the shoreline. Additionally, there's a hiking area and even a climbing spot for the adventurous. On weekdays, parking costs $8.00, while on weekends, it's $15.00.
