Greenwood Creek Beach

It was absolutely incredible! We discovered a cave that led us to a small beach right next to it. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking! We even spotted some tiny jellyfish along the shoreline.

This beach is absolutely amazing! We made a quick stop here during our summer road trip in our RV, and we were disappointed that we didn't know about it beforehand to plan a longer visit. Despite the dense fog on the day we passed through, the beach was still stunning and enjoyable. We all easily walked down the dirt trail to reach the beach, and there was plenty of space for running around and having fun. The surrounding scenery was absolutely breathtaking. I strongly recommend visiting this place!

It was absolutely amazing! We drove from one coast to the other and couldn't resist the urge to touch the ocean in California. Luckily, there's parking right next to the pathway, making it super convenient to trek down to the shore. A local informed us that there was also a path to go up for a breathtaking eagle view, but due to time constraints, we only had the chance to do one hike and our priority was to experience the water. We visited in early October and initially, the beach was engulfed in dense fog, obscuring any view beyond it. However, as we started walking, the fog gradually lifted, revealing a truly incredible vista. The view became even more stunning when we hiked back up to the top, so if possible, I highly recommend taking the higher path as well! Although the parking lot may appear busy, there are a couple of stores and a deli across the street. Surprisingly, the actual beach itself was not crowded when I was there. It felt like a more secluded area.

The coastline is absolutely stunning. As we made our way towards the beach, we caught sight of a charming striped racer leisurely crossing the path. Above us, there were rentals and BnBs that surely offered breathtaking views. The beach was teeming with gulls and pelicans. The pelicans were joyfully frolicking in the waves, allowing themselves to be gently carried down a miniature sand slide before eagerly repeating the experience.

Wow! The water at this beach is absolutely stunning, even clearer than Carmel. Although the area near the waves can be a bit harsh on your feet due to the presence of numerous big and small sharp rocks, it doesn't take away from the overall amazing experience. Additionally, there are plenty of gorgeous arches to admire, and surprisingly, there aren't many people around.
