  Absolutely amazing place to stop and just enjoy the absolute wonderful view across the ocean. Also was able to see some boats out on the open water. It is very safe to take kids to this parking area to look over the water. And you are surrounded by lots of wooded area as well. I would recommend this stop to anybody that is traveling. Especially in the evening where you can view sunsets.

  Beautiful view. We saw whales in migration. Go on a cloudy day with no wind for the best views during migration. On sunny days the blues and greens are breathtaking.
