Parked in the side of the road (at our own risk). There’s plenty of space to camp almost anywhere. You have to hike in about .5-1 mile depending on where you set up. Water is cold but perfect for a cold plunge. Surfers stopped to check out the waves. I love this beach, definitely one of my favorite camp spots.
There was a bit of trash and it looks like a man has made it his home as his camp looks like it hasn’t moved in months. We packed up and took as much trash as we could with us. The man was alive (we checked in to see if he was ok)
