This beach offers a picturesque drive through lush green hills and pastures, leading to sandy cliffs that overlook a beach filled with elephant seals and giant banana slugs. It's a must-visit for those who love exploring and sightseeing.
Yesterday, when we arrived at the beach, it was a foggy day, just like many other days in the Bay Area during the summer. Despite the fog, it was still a great beach and dog-friendly, although dogs should be kept on a leash.
This beach is perfect for those who prefer secluded spots. Even during peak season in July, the crowds are minimal, with no more than 10 people around.
This beach is definitely one of the best I've been to. When we arrived on a Monday morning around 11 am, there was not a single soul in sight. We had the whole place to ourselves for a solid 30 minutes or so. The water felt incredibly clean and refreshing against our feet. What caught my attention the most was the picturesque appearance of this beach. The cliffs and pristine golden sand were a sight to behold, and it wasn't windy enough for the sand to be blowing all over the place. It was quite photogenic. Right in front of the parking area, there is a small pond where several ducks can be found. The restrooms are conveniently located inside the visitor center.
We were absolutely enamored with this beach! The stroll to get there was a leisurely 10-minute jaunt, and we were delighted to find that even during a holiday weekend, the crowds were scarce. The sand was incredibly velvety and pristine, and we're already planning our next visit.
