This is our favorite spot. The beach is my happy place. It's my peace and calm. This definitely doesn't disappoint. You can't get this peace and quiet at inner city beaches. We love it! I just wish they had restrooms and/or maintained their port a potties better/more often.

One of our favorite beach spots on PCH, every time I have visited, the beach is clean, no trash or litter anywhere 👍🏼 Worth the 1.5 hrs drive in traffic. Usually packed on Sat. and Sun. So make sure you arrive early and don't forget to pay for parking using the app. There's signs posted along the parking areas. Keep an eye out for dolphins!

I went to the Hiking side of the park and was great for a non experienced hiker. Went with the family and had a good time, 2.2 miles in 1hr. The views are fantastic.

I was driving by with my friend and we came to watch the sunset it was stunning and absolutely gorgeous. It's a fun place to go camping if you get a reservation at the State Park itself. And you're right next to the beach.

Katie Seiferth | Aug 21, 2019
Ryan Lewis | Aug 21, 2019

This may not be the best beach for children for swimming there are no lifeguards at the beach and the Beachside drops and very quickly to the water the water could be very heavy and slam you into the sand I'd prefer a better Beach like a Zuma this is a beach where the water is very clear there's not much Riptide there's lifeguards showers and more Zuma Beach is perfect it's a shallow Beach they gradually goes in to the ocean Eco walk out 50 ft and be at your waist the water is very clear and the waters are more calm and you can catch good waves for surfing swimming and much more there's also showers at this locations and restaurants

Can you barbecue and swim there?

Carlos Hernandez | Aug 21, 2019
Ted Barber Jr | Aug 21, 2019

There's no place to BBQ and you 'could' swim here, but I wouldn't advise it as it's pretty rocky several yards into the water. CHECK THAT... I was referring to the area near The Rock. I haven't visited the area where you pay to park. My apologies for the misunderstanding.

Aj Cali | Aug 21, 2019
Paulette Salg | Aug 21, 2019

No reservations needed, they have restrooms, it should be crowded on Sunday. If you are the campground side probably not for bbqs grill, not sure about the beach side. Remember first come first serve.
