This beach is definitely very unusual in that the sand is very fine black rocks. Make sure to wear sturdy shoes. It's definitely very hard to reach since the parking lot is on a hill and then you have to walk down the hill to...More

Such a pretty and fun place! We hiked the lost coast trail and finished here. It was absolutely lovely but quite a challenge to hike. It's a must see!!

I visited here recently with friends and was so glad we stuck with it over narrow, curvy roads to get there. The beach is beautiful and gives you a sense of the California Lost Coast. It is definitely not for swimming (many warnings about dangers)...More

AS a fan of light houses, to have one within walking distance of our room was a bonus. The rugged, but beautiful beach was accessible. Bring your camera for all the various sea life and animals populating the black sand beach.

My husband and I expected a short visit, but spent 2 hours exploring this beautiful area. The beach is rocky so wear shoes and there are warning signs about dangerous waves which kept us at bay from the water, but we enjoyed watching the waves...More

Sand is a bad word. But that's not bad. It is all smooth black pea sized gravel. Not a place to swim at all !! Very dangerous undertow and surf. Absolutely beautiful watch though !
