Description

Known to locals as Beacon's, this beach sits at the base of craggy coastal bluffs, creating a naturally private atmosphere that keeps crowds thin. The landscape features an improved switchback trail, which modernizes the descent to the sand while remaining a steep climb on the return. It serves as a consistent spot for surfing, swimming, and jogging, offering a quieter alternative to more accessible regional stretches. While recent path upgrades have removed the difficulty of navigating loose pebbles at the shoreline, the vertical distance from the parking lot remains a notable barrier for those with limited mobility.
