The Pacific opens wide here: a gray ribbon of sand stretching for miles, waves riffling and the lighthouse perched like a watchful guide above a cliff.

Check tide times
Low tide reveals tidal pools and expands beach walking; avoid exploring rocks at incoming high tides.
Bring windproof layers
Ocean-facing winds can be much colder than inland; a windproof shell keeps you comfortable for long shoreline walks.
Wear waterproof footwear
Sand can be compact but surf and wet sections require quick-drying shoes or waterproof boots.
Respect wildlife
Give birds and seal haul-outs a wide berth; nesting sites and pups are vulnerable to disturbance.
Windproof shell
Shields against cold ocean winds and light drizzle on exposed beaches.
