Customer Reviews
(4.5⭐️) It's such a wonderful place, so majestic! It has a lot of access points to the river and hiking trails. The avenue of the giants was a beautiful. My complaint is more about the people that pass by/ camp there. I am interested to know why is it difficult for them to pee in the toilet, flush the toilet, clean after themselves, pick up their trash, or even be respectful of nature? Anyway, I will be back soon!
I really enjoyed the beach here. We saw a seal bodysurfing the waves near the shore, a couple dolphins in the distance, a sea lion swimming, and lots of pelicans. It wasn't too windy either. Parking is limited and we saw the state park rangers leaving after having given tickets to a few cars who weren't in official parking spots. There are two pit toilets which were not the best, but not the worst.
Gorgeous views, calm and peaceful waters, and a chance to see some elk. Most people drive through these lagoons to visit other state parks, but have you ever stopped and taken a walk along the sand bar between the lagoon and the ocean? There are places to picnic, kayak, and explore in these gorgeous lagoons (yep, lagoons, not just lagoon). GO see for yourself how beautiful it is here. Each lagoon is different and has its own unique beauty.
I didn't see where to pay, but apparently, there is a $6 fee. I rented the library state park pass for free. No service
Neat place for a stop and sunset! Tons of driftwood on this beach.
