Pirates Cove
★★★★★
(116)
This is a steep, rocky beach with stairs to walk down to the water. The rocks have moss and can be slippery. The kelp forrest is amazing but thick, so swim through the kelp bed with caution.
Water can be murky and cold. You will see your typical Pacific coast fish species like sheepshead, sea urchins, bass, fingerlings, kelp fish, and more.
