  • What a fabulous place, super views and lovely walks and picnic area. The pier is popular with fishermen and lovely to walk on and take great photos of the coastline here.

  • So glad we stopped here to enjoy the quiet, calm beach. The walk on the pier was great and gave us awesome views of the shores.

  • We stopped at every vista point coming from north to south, starting with Elephant seal vista point. (Would have been the light hide but it was closed. It’s opened 3 days a week for two hours). William R. Hearst State Beach is the closest public restrooms. It’s also where you have access to the pier that you can spot from 101. The restrooms were clean and there are 4 single stalls. Don’t forget to go to the back. One at each corner. We saw a several parties having a picnic at the tables throughout the site.
  • Nice beach with a lovely boardwalk into the bay. Great views of the beach and coastline. There are restrooms, which were clean and well maintained. A nice place for a picnic or a short stop as you drive the Highway 1.
