Belated post. This was our last stop of the day before returning to Seaside. This was one of multiple pull offs available to people driving along the 101. This pull off was particularly nice because the TH/parking area was right off the 101, parking was free and plentiful (for a weekday. There were over 30 parking spots, but I imagine that could fill up quickly on a summer weekend)). Beach access was just a few stairs from the parking area.

All the beaches we visited were very nice, however this one had a special charm for several reasons. It was more isolated. Most of the beaches we visited were paired with beach communities meaning there was a lot more beach activity. This beach had some interesting caves along the shoreline. None were very deep, but still cool to look at. It had a waterfall within .5 miles of the parking area. And even more interesting (to me) was a very rocky stagecoach route that went along the base of the cliff just above the surf. Can’t imagine the work that was involved in creating that route. Wife and I walked both directions along the beach enjoying the views. The waterfall and stage route are to the north of the parking area. Unfortunately the tide was coming in so I wasn’t able to explore the stage route more (it’s that close to the ocean). The tide didn’t affect the waterfall area. Very nice way to end the day.
