To ensure a good experience here time your arrival for near low tide as to be able to access the pools. There are benches along the shore where you can sit and ocean or people watch. Be advised that parking at times can be problematic at the tide pools.

Maybe it was high tide, but I didn't see any tidepools, and I had just recently been to Yachats, Or, which has amazing waterfront formations and this was like nothing.
