beautiful to say the least. not all that busy but even if it were, theres plenty of parking. you have to pay to get in though and its 20 dollars if i remember correctly. theres a couple paths that lead to the overlook and one on the south side of the lot that leads to the beach. this beach is NOT senior or disabled friendly. theres treacherous stairs that lead down and theyre even harder to go up. i recommend going at low tide. theres a ton of rocks and the waves were insanely huge while i was there. im talking toe deep to waste deep in 2 seconds. dont get hurt on the rocks. i did spot a seal though and its a great place to see the sunset. the bathrooms were decent enough and had a shower station at the stair entrance.

Really nice little walk along the cliffs. There's a steep ramp to go down to the beach. At low tide you can climb around and play on the rocks. The trail at the top is pretty flat and paved so anyone can do it. Highly recommend to come by in the early evening for sunset! Just keep in mind that it can get a little busy on nice days.

The view does not disappoint after only a short hike from parking lot 1, or the northern most lot. Paths are mostly paved, and can be done with a stroller. Just be aware that there are hills, especially if going down to the beach. Also, the last bit to the observation platform does have stairs, and steep drop offs on either side.

Beautiful spot for a great view, was just off the main road, but it was lovely & quiet that night. Shower facilities were good, but need more hooks in the shower. No where to put your stuff. No wash up facilities, but most camp spots in USA seem to be like that. I thought it was very expensive for a camp spot, but it seems that all camp spots on the coast are quiet over priced. I would stay here again. Nice mountain bike &...

Beautiful beach, 5 stars for nature. Not sure why they need park rangers sitting in their air conditioned suv driving up and down the beach. Ought to have them picking up trash, removing graffiti, or something else actually useful rather than pouring tax money into unnecessary equipment and personnel to have a redundant “law enforcement” agency polluting the state parks. 0...
