This gorgeous arch is a popular destination from the Rialto Beach trailhead. Just be sure to pay attention to the tides, as the south side of Hole in the Wall quickly gets covered in water as the tide comes in. There is an optional overland trail with ropes if the water is too deep, but this is a challenging option and you may need to wait out the tides.

Hiking

A wide angle lense for the actual hole in the Wall and a telephoto lense for the islands would be helpful.

Running

A unique arch with spectacular views set on a beach! The short run from Rialto Beach is absolutely worth it. Beware of the tides as the arch becomes covered in water when the tide comes in!
