Great spot for a sunset if you can get a site.

Pros: Awesome tent site right on the bluff overlooking the ocean with easy beach access. Cons: It’s a short walk from the designated parking spaces to the campsite, bring a rolling cart if you have a lot of items otherwise the trips back and forth to the car get tiring. Bathrooms were dirty and smelled like urine. There was somebody who came to clean in the morning, however.

One of my favorite beachs for over 45 years. Ample parking, easy beach access, restrooms/showers and miles of beach to walk and frolick.
