★★★★★ 5.0 Bonnie Robinson · Jul 2025

Beautiful beach to visit! However, it is not ideal to swim or walk barefoot. There is a warning sign nearby stating that lives have been lost there. The "black sand" is rather full of micro pebbles/ rocks. Great place to catch some sun, wind, or a place to relax. Highly recommend visiting this spot.

★★★★★ 5.0 Asher Cervantez · Jul 2025

This is a little cool tucked away beach it has stunning views and very few people (No swimming)

★★★★★ 5.0 Ivan · Oct 2022

It was quite a drive to get all the way down here, through what seemed like California's own Appalachian villages. However, to me it was definitely worth the effort. A fascinating place with it's own runway and Bay - very interesting.

★★★★☆ 4.0 John dB · Aug 2025

Stunning scenery, but very rough sea and the “sand” is actually “pebbles”

★★★★☆ 4.0 Estrella Gudiño · Apr 2024

Nice place for a walk, wear closed toe shoes, there’s really no sand here, just Little Rocks. Not safe to get in the water here
