Locals often refer to it as Hendry's Beach, named after the family that owned the land in the early 20th century.
The beach is known for its striking sandstone cliffs, which are part of the Monterey Formation, a geological structure dating back millions of years.
The beach has a designated off-leash area where dogs can roam freely, making it a popular spot for pet owners.
The park is home to a native plant restoration project aimed at preserving the local ecosystem and preventing erosion.
The remains of the S.S. Yankee Blade, a gold rush-era steamship that sank in 1854, can be found offshore, though they are not visible from the beach.
The beach is a great spot for tide pooling, where you can observe sea stars, anemones, and other marine creatures during low tide.
The park offers picnic areas, a restaurant, and a rinse-off station, making it a convenient spot for family outings.
