Great beach for sunset strolls. Some good rock and shell hunting at low tide. Dog friendly is always a plus. Boathouse restaurant is amazing.

Amazing spot to bring your dog. Beautiful sunset, parking was a little bit tricky but worked out. Off leash and friendly dogs down both directions. Extra poop bag if you forget. Amazing to watch the surfers there as well. Not too crowded. Was just visiting so I don’t know much else!

We came at -1 low tide today. It was great to walk among all the rocks if a little hard on our tender feet. There are many nooks and crannies where the water pools and you can see the tidal animals. The parking is limited, but we've always been able to get a spot as long as it's not peak hours and we're patient. An excellent restaurant is on-site here. There is an off-leash dog area too, so there's lots of options for things to do at this beach.

Nice beach. We took our dogs to the off leash side and had a good time with them. They wore themselves out playing with dogs and splashing in the surf. The best part is that there's a dog wash station in the parking lot. The worst part is that there's very little parking.

Rocks, dogs, and the beach front restaurant make this beach special. The beach access is free and so is the parking.
