Small beach to be able to unwind and hangout. Pleasant to bring people to but be respectful to those around you as most people come to relax not party. Go to the campgrounds to do all that or wait until the beach is a bit more open to it. You can feel out the scenery to adapt to what’s allowed and not allowed.

What a small hidden gem. This beach is awesome but there's a lot of seaweed. The Amtrak train passed above us that was a sight. They have good parking bathrooms showers and a small convenience store with many good treats.

The scenery is definitely impressive. However, the railway bridge is not only spectacular to look at, but also causes a lot of noise. The beach was heavily polluted and the pier closed for safety and lack of maintenance.

How long is the hike? Also is the trail for the hot springs different than the trail with the caves?

Deborah Ackrich | Sep 17, 2020
Kristi K | Sep 17, 2020

The hot springs depending where you get off on the free way can be 7 to 1 mile. I recommend getting off the 101 it's past the tunnel going north. You are suppose to pay $2 to park. Also the hike is uphill and known to have bears around and sometimes the path can be muddy.
