Reviews
"A favorite as a kid. So sad to see Shelter Cove grow so quickly from a few homes to hundreds or thousands. But it seems the coastal cliffs are still preserved."
"Cute little light house and tide pools were awesome tons of rocks to explore and there was even sea lions."
"Stinky and full of flies but it’s a nice little place I guess"
"Nice little spot for what it's worth - plenty of parking. We were there before the lighthouse was open. As of today, the walkway down was closed (July 30, 2022), but it's a nice view with plenty of seals. But it's worth it to go a little bit further down the road to Seal Rock."
"This is a great spot to see sea lions, listen to the ocean, and go tide pool exploring during low tide."
