I like this beach because it often has a higher surf and I love the big waves. This year I managed to find a few cool rocks and fossils. Beautiful, long, sandy beach.

Love this state park to stay for nearby crabbing. We stay yearly and have used both the tent sites as well as yurt sites. Both are great, but the heated yurts are far more comfortable in the colder/rainy seasons. Clean bathrooms, hot showers and friendly park staff make this a family favorite. The beachcoming and activities here are great for families!

The pups had a blast at this beach. $10 parking permit fee, but it's clean, big, and flat. There are restrooms and sprayers to rinse off when you are done.

Awesome campground. Lots of spaces for rvs and tents. Neighbors were respectful. You could hear the sea lions on the docks from the campground.

One of the nicest state park we have ever stayed with our RV. The staff as helpful as can be! Close to a fantastic beach and lots of hikes around the park. I wish i could have stayed longer.
