Gorgeous. The biodiversity & local wildlife make it feel almost natural, will probably get caught in a slide exploring now that I've found this place 😅🫡 What i thought were baby sea-cucumbers are actually Anemone, lol. Beautiful nontheless(Still wondering if sea cucumbers can be pickled 🤐.) Where you see fallen trees gathered in that lil cove, if you hike up like 100ft you can see a mini-waterfall 🫡 mainly backfill bs(and erosion stopping bs, lol) Silica is meh, but Franscesian Melange is an overly mixed bag anyway 😁

I never forget the day I was there. It was a coincidence but miracle. I met my inner self and healed from inside. I really needed this. Beach was like a dream. The walk barefoot on the sand, and the breeze kissing my face was a pure bliss. My hair was dancing in the air. I just wanted to stay forever. There was something over there, an energy, or an inner force that was keeping me safe and free like a bird.

Short hike with really nice ocean views (probably even better on a sunny day). Parking’s kinda tight, but not a big deal. At the end of the trail lots of people were fishing, which was cool to see. After the hike, it’s totally worth heading into the nearby town—it’s a nice spot to stroll around, grab a bite, and just enjoy the local feel.

It’s a natural unregulated site with some gravel trails and quite often some kind of construction going on. There’s no functional bathrooms, and the parking lot has had several break ins over the couple years I’ve been going here. But for me it’s the paragliding that makes it the best. One of my favorite spots in the world, usually only great during summer and fall but there is paragliding moments to be found all year round if persistent. Whale watching is great here, there is very often whales just off the coast and you can see their tails splashing and breathing spraying mist into the air. People fish down on the beach, and hikers with dogs can roam up the trails and road all the way up to the perch which is the highest paragliding launch in the park.

Beautiful views and well managed trail down nearly to the water. Be ready to climb down the rocks tho to get to the beach but it is worth it.
