Spending a day at the beach is an absolute delight, and what makes it even better is having access to a fantastic dining spot nearby. This location offers both, making it a perfect destination for a fun-filled day out.
We stumbled upon one of the most stunning beaches on the West Coast and I would definitely recommend it for its breathtaking views!
The beach is absolutely stunning, with a lovely little hike to both the south and north side cliffs that provide breathtaking views. The sand is a darker shade, but still beautiful nonetheless. The sunset is a must-see, as the area is simply stunning during that time of day. For those looking for a dining experience, Nick's restaurant offers ocean view seating, live music, and dancing on Friday and Saturday nights.
This beach is my absolute favorite spot! It's always immaculate and well-maintained. I had the pleasure of visiting on New Year's Day and was pleasantly surprised to find it relatively uncrowded. I was able to secure a parking spot in the lot, which was a bonus. Additionally, there's a charming walking trail that's easily accessible from the parking lot.

Please note that dogs are not allowed on this trail. For those wanting to extend their adventure, Falcon Guides 2e also recommends exploring the nearby Butano and Round Hill trails, both of which can be seen in the photo. Lace up your hiking boots and discover the natural beauty of this breathtaking area.
