Unique coastal spot that is a worthy stop if you’re passing through. This is not a beach where are you are going to sit down and enjoy the waves. This is a long staircase that leads down directly into the ocean, which is a pretty cool concept. The ocean waves are crashing against the stairs and the handrails which reverberate all the way to the top just makes for some interesting sounds as you’re walking down. Plan to spend about 10 to 15 minutes here. The walk down isn’t very challenging but if you are physically in bad shape, it might be a little hard for you. This makes for some pretty pictures and it’s not very crowded. There’s plenty of street parking but please respect the nearby houses and properties

A nice hidden beach not to far from the main downtown area. Finding the steps down to the beach is not as hard as the trek down as the steps are in bad shape. Not recommended for people with difficulty walking. Make sure to look at the tide tables before heading out to make sure the tide is low or you'll find your trip in vain as the beach disappears at high tide. Many little nooks and crannies to hide in if your interested in some privacy. Can get crowded during low tides on the weekends.

I don't really think it was 1000 steps we honestly lost count going up because I distracted us but the walk down and up is very easy. No sweat. Once you get to the bottom watch your step. You will need to jump off or hang on to someone for help off the steps. Great beach for a sunset or sunrise. Unfortunately, I stepped in poop because some people didn't pick up after their dogs. But it was a great walk saw some great sea urchin and collected some beautiful sea shell's.

Beautiful and amazing views, but quite steep and slippery to get down. The waves literally splash onto the bottom of the steps. The time we went were quite high tide. Because of the marsh environment, there were growth of algae on the steps which can make it quite slippery and dangerous to get down. Lots of growth of Flying bugs or mosquitoes?? We saw professional photographers taking family pictures at the small sliver of beach area at the bottom.

Great secluded beach, very pleasant walk there. Will visit every time I go to SB. Other reviewer mentioned possible petroleum from an oil spill - unlikely - this area (SB Channel and Carpentaria) is known for natural tar seepage and Native Americans used to come to this region to harvest tar. However, even considering this fact, the beach is incredibly clean and the water is very clean as well. Not dirty whatsoever.
