Description: Beautiful, clean beach that stretches as far as you can see along Highway 1. This beach is rarely crowded and dogs are allowed on-leash. Water can be cold and current is strong, so keep your dog on leash. Parking is limited: there is a small parking lot with an outhouse next to La Costanera Restaurant. Do not take the steep slope down near the parking lot, instead, walk behind the restaurant and you will find a stairwell with a railing leading down to the beach.
