Stengel Beach Parking Lot,

Stengel Beach Parking Lot, 25 Wild Iris, Sea Ranch, CA 95497, United States

"Stairs going down to beach are closed. No view of waterfall. Trail surrounded by private property which doesn't allow any other route to look at the bluffs."

"nice place to stop and stretch your legs. nice path to the beach and a really clean public restroom with water. oh yeah..it had seals on the rocks too."

"My wife and I showed up to this beach during high tide, which made running past the waves to climb to a higher point very exciting! The access to the beach here is very interesting as the stairs connected to a large boulder that led directly to the crashing waves. I really enjoyed getting pictures here."

"Great place to pull over, stretch your legs and see the ocean for a minute while you driving up or down California's historic Hwy 1. The views are just breathtaking!"

"This is a beautiful beach! The stairs end on a rock however so you have to be careful if you intend to go all the way down onto the sand. May not be the safest for very young children. I saw seals from this beach and watched a beautiful sunset! To be perfectly honest though I walked here and never actually saw a parking lot."
