You pay $10 to enjoy the whole beach including restrooms, picnic area and parking. Beach is a solitaire area but very relaxing and not crowded. There are a lot of big rocks and a few sting rays so be careful if you want to go into the water. At low tide hours you can walk more than hour to the south with no problems but make sure start waking back before 4pm to avoid water splashing your feet. Family friendly 100%.

Worst camping experience ever, we had a fluorescent street light beaming onto our campsites all night long and into our tents. Campsites were the smallest areas we have ever experienced. I would not advise tent camping due to the lights in spots closest to the beach due to the beach access parking lot. The highway was also very apparently in the background noice wise. The beach is also not very nice. I think if we had spots away from the lights it would have been slightly better but I have never experienced lights like that at a campground! Horrible! I would zero stars if I could!

Super tiny campground. Feels more like a parking lot with a small patches of grass to squeeze your tents onto. There’s 0 privacy or space from adjacent campsites. We had a campsite closest to the beach, and unfortunately there were super bright fluorescent street light that shone on us the whole night. It was a beautiful starry night, but the crazy bright street lights completely blocked our view of the night sky. We also had to cover our tent with blankets to cover the light from pooling into our tent.

Love this hidden gem. I had never heard of this spot before making reservations. I wasn't sure what to expect. So peaceful and beautiful. The beach is small, but you owe it to yourself to walk south on a low tide. You will be the only footprints for over 2 miles. The cliffs are so cool to behold. The campground is small, but well run. Everyone was very friendly and really quiet at night. I can't wait to go back again. The restrooms and showers are well maintained and cleaned by a really hard working staff. There's a camp store that's open Friday to Monday for little goodies and trinkets.

This park is nothing short of incredible. There's plenty of space for campers, tons of bathrooms, and the ocean is just a short walk away. The views at the park are great, too, and if you can get away with it, I'd recommend keeping an open tent and watching the sky as you fall asleep. Good bonfire pits, picnic tables, and plenty of other amenities.
