Beach at the section of Central Coast Birding Trail is believed to be one of the most dangerous places for swimming, because of the steep drop – off from shore creating turbulent waves that are falsely appeared as calm sea and the strong currents.

The beach is a popular spot for body boarders. Visitors should walk through the natural reserves of Point Lobos.
