The entrance is conspicuous. But the beach is very well-maintained. So when you first get there, Google Maps will say “you’ve reached your destination” and you may be like “where? Lol”. It’s a small tunnel-like pathway in between two houses with a sign that says 1000 Steps Beach. Street parking is available around it, but often is difficult to find and you may have to walk a block or two. Once you find the sign, sure enough there’s about a 1000 steps straight down to the beach. Not much to see except house walls and fences on either side. The steps are well-kempt but over the years have degraded a bit. There’s often a mix of sludge and water that piles up at the bottom of the steps. So needless to say, it’s not very good for someone not in good physical shape. But the beach is beautiful. Lots of sand and waves. Beautiful sunsets. We enjoyed our time here so much that we almost forgot we had to now climb those steps all the way back up! Haha. But it’s not too bad. You can take some rest along the way, though someone in relatively ok shape should be able to do it in one shot no problem. Plus, you don’t feel guilty about just lounging around on the beach all day - you can say you got a solid leg workout! I hope you enjoy friends.. if you like our reviews, please like or share so we can keep them coming :)

First time here and this is one of the best hidden beaches in Southern California. There are about 240 actual stairs from the very bottom to the very top. How do I know ? I counted myself. Now why would it be called 1,000 steps you might ask. It’s 240 stairs down and 240 stairs back up which is 480 but that’s only if you hop from one stair to the next. You must take a minimum of two per stair so if it’s 240 stairs you would take 2 steps per stairs which gives you 480 steps down and another 480 back up which puts you at 960 steps if you round that up because 60 is closer to 100 then you get 1,000. That’s why this is called 1,000 steps, hopefully this gives a understanding to it and everyone appreciates this review because it took a hour or two to figure it out myself. Enjoy my pictures and videos as well. Enjoy your time, come during the week and take a dip. The water is so clean, clear and cold.

This beach is located bellow a strech of cliffs in a very affluent part of southern california. You might get some dirty looks from the local residents just ignore it, the folks at the beach are nice. It's not actually 1000 steps its more like two hundres and something. The stairway down is nice and steep and trust if you haven't been here before, you will be sore the next day after going up those steps. Once at the bottom you will notice the cliffs the houses perched on them, each with thier own private stairway looks so cool. There is a sort of cave were you can pound a few brews. Just please take your cans with you. There are rock formations that you can walk on and over to explore. From one outcrop of rock you can see the seeweed swaing with the current bellow, nice.
