Beautiful and quiet beach to visit. Had a picnic with friends the we all preceded to take naps. Ocean waves are the best sleepy time noise.

Seacliff State Beach is a great place to bring the family. We also enjoy taking a climb up the stairs, then walk across Sea Cliff Drive and then go down a small path back to the beach. We have been coming here now for over 15 years.

Another new beach for me in California and I’ve been here all my life. Great parking and a long beach to walk if I chose to.

I love Sea Cliff Beach! You can walk forever on the beach. There is great rock hounding when the rock piles are there mostly in the winter. I rockhound everyday and have found some amazing things from sea glass , very high quality serpentine, Jasper's, crystal clams, and much much more. It is a state park so remember to follow the rock hounding rules of California State Parks. This beach is never overcrowded. Even in the summer there are many people there The beach is large enough for everyone to have plenty of space. Highly underutilized in my opinion. The little museum is also very much worth visiting. They are open Wednesday through the weekend.

Fantastic beach. Even in late January it felt like summer with temps feeling like they were in the 70s. There’s a ton of beach to walk along and bring your dogs as well! The old SS Palo Alto shipwreck is still there but unfortunately the pier was brought down by a storm recently.
