Greenwood State Beach is a truly stunning beach, characterized by rugged cliffs, vast ocean views, and sandy shores. There is also a small visitor center housed in the former historic school house you can visit to learn about the history of the area. You can explore rocky outcrops and tidal pools, look for seals, sea lions, and seabirds, and, during migration seasons, enjoy whale watching. The beach is right off of Highway 1 so it is easy to enjoy beach-combing, tide-pooling, picnicking, and hiking. Swimming however is not a popular activity here; caution is advised due to strong currents and cold waters.
