"Amazing place to hide and relax. A bit hard to find in the dark… but wow! When you see what you are looking at in the morning, it’s so beautiful. Beautiful weather today and gorgeous sunset tonight ☀️"
"Camping spots are next to the highway, but the beach itself is fabulously secluded! Bring a wagon to haul your day beach gear down, as it's a very nice .25 mile walk down to the beach, traversing the bluffs. Be cautious of snakes in the area. My friend had to save my lil' pup last moment! @dreamtreecoaching on IG and @thegrievingmind"
"Amazing pebble Beach. Leash free dog friendly for the most part. Some sand spots. Predominantly a surfing beach. The waves are pretty rough for wading."
"Beautiful location. The bluffs add fantastic backdrop for surfers, and beach goers. The short easy hikes between the parking lots and beaches are filled with a variety of fauna. The is perfect for wildflower seekers of any age."
