Can you swim at this beach

I grew up in the area and would go on field trips here when I was a kid. We were always told the stories of people that would brave the current to the big rock that was always referred to as Goat rock. The people were always stranded some died. This is not an area to swim, I remember the water here was always very cold.

I would not current is way too gnarly

Swimming in the ocean here is too dangerous because of the current. You can swim on the river side.

Went last weekend, signs everywhere advised not to

One side of the rock yes you can

Yes
