Tips

The beach trail leads you right down to where you'd expect. One of the things people love to do is to 1) park at the beach parking lot right after the paid entry, and then walk the road all the way up to the top, then hike down the beach trail back to the beach where your final stroll along the beach leads you right back to your car. I highly recommend this. It's a unique thing to be able to do.

But there's a catch... If the tides are high, or there is big surf, you won't be able to make it back to the beach parking lot from where the beach trail hits the beach. The tides and/or surf sometimes close down the section of beach along the bottom of the cliffs, meaning you'd have to hike all the way back up the beach trail and then walk the road down again (not as fun, unless you're looking for the extra work and miles).

Pro tip: Check the surf and tides for when you'll be doing the hike. That way you'll have a better idea of where you should park (beach lot down at the bottom or trail parking lot up top), and know what kind of hike to expect.

A great beach - but dogs are not allowed here. The entrance to the state park is directly behind the parking lot.
