Better be CAREFUL, very slippery when wet to be able to walk across the tide pools to explore and have an amazing seat for the sunset. Not really accessible when the tide is high but 80% of the time you can walk across at ease. Not exactly wheelchair accessible but on a scale of 1-10 on difficulty I would give it a 2 just because there is a couple places where you gotta step up or down some 2ft rocks which may conclude difficult for some.

Beautiful. To the left of the pier are some rocks you can walk on. Due to the sandbars and rocky ocean floor, the waves can get very big, which crash on the rocks. Larger waves, especially in winter, may catch you by surprise (got soaked here a few times). High tide may also swamp the area. Otherwise it's a great place to watch surfers or crashing waves.

This place is amazing, beautiful views. The restrooms was disturbing and very unclean. Parking was hard to find also. But they have vendors selling goods. I would suggest to support the local businesses.

In town for work stuff, found this place on Google. Super cool, quiet spot right in the middle of town. Had to park and walk a few blocks, and there are no bathrooms nearby, but that's probably what keeps this place so clean and low key. Sit on the rocks and contemplate the universe.
