It's been two years since I've been out hiking with groups. This hike has show me what I have been missing. I'm glad to be hiking again.

Just for clarification, this is NOT a clothing optional beach (nude bathing is illegal in LA County), though it's probably likely that you won't be caught. If you decide to go without, you do so at your own risk. I expect the name to be corrected soon. Anyway, this is a very secluded and rocky beach. Surf here is notoriously dangerous, so I heavily advise against entering the water. Picturesque views and being able to get a glimpse of the caves is definitely worth the hike down though! If you plan to visit, access can be tricky, with no nearby public parking and steep trails. You could try parking at Ladera Linda Park and start hiking from there (a little over 3 miles both ways, depending on which way you start walking) or at Abalone Cove Shoreline Park (2 miles both ways, but parking isn't free). Bring plenty of water, wear appropriate walking shoes, go on a nice day, and you'll have a good time!

This beach is really amazing. You need to pass lots of yellow flowers to reach here. Lots of rocks and small caves on the shores. This makes the sea waves stronger. If you keep walking toward east, you will see a super big sea holes. Because of fierce waves, you need to be careful for the danger here.
