This beach is THE BEACH to watch crazy ass huge waves crash into massive rocks. If you choose to come here on king tides be prepared to see a ton of people/photographers lined up hoping for a huge wave with the lighthouse in the background. Last king tide there was approximately 50 photographers lined up 2 hours before high tide and that wasn’t including all the other people just there to see huge waves.
There are two general areas of the beach. One is the actual beach area and another off to the side near the jetty with slightly better views of the lighthouse.
The actual beach area has a ton of driftwood so it can be a bit tricky and definitely not safe on high tide days. The funny thing is that we’ve been to the side view area many, many times but only recently went down on to the beach area. It’s a nice little beach area to sit and watch the ocean.
The side area has a small parking lot with picnic tables to enjoy a coast day. There are tons of driftwood along the water and some people climb over them to get closer but beware on high tides and sneaker wave warnings as it’s not the easiest to climb over the driftwood. This is the area where everyone waits for large waves to hit. The waves crashing is sometimes higher than the lighthouse which is definitely a sight to see. The waves below were not taken on a king tide day just a day with predicted big waves.
