Ben Deceuster:

"Beautiful coastal views and rock outcroppings and sea caves make this a spectacular spot to take photos especially at sunset. Also cool spot to relive some nostalgia from the Karate Kid movie."

"We went at just the right time and even on a busy Saturday there was so much space and so many things to check out and do. I think we spent close to three hours there. So refreshing and fun!! Make sure you go at low tide and arrive a little before."

"It is a beautiful spot and a gem in Southern California. I would caution parts of the beach because the waves are pretty strong therefore if you have little ones keep them close and protected. The park rangers are very helpful and nice. Make sure to check out the caves during low tide. The high tide may prevent you from seeing the caves."

"Loved the rocks and sea caves at this beach. There was a dog friendly beach and also non-dog beaches. Parking is across the highway for the sea caves and is $3/hour or $12 for the day. We went at low tide and we were able go explore all of the caves. Great spot for bird watchers and isn't very busy and cleaner than most beaches along the hwy."

"Beautiful beach to explore. Great place for the kids to swim and find creatures in the tide pools and amongst the rocks while the adults can have nice romantic teams on the beach. Great caves too for the whole family to discover for themselves"
