Bedste tid at besøge
Visit on weekday mornings before 10 a.m. to beat crowds and score parking. Summer offers warmest water for swimming, while winter sunsets paint the sandstone cliffs gold.
Budgettips
Entry is free, but parking costs $5-8 per hour at the street meters or $20-40 in nearby lots. Bring your own snorkel gear to avoid rental fees from the shops on Coast Boulevard.

Om
Hurtige fakta: Et beskyttet havreservat vrimler med over 5.000 californiske søløver og spættede sæler, der soler sig på klipperne året rundt. Svømmere og snorklere deler vandet med klare orange garibaldi-fisk, Californiens statslige havfisk.
Højdepunkter: Takket være en udpegning som undervandspark i 1931 tiltrækker vigens tangskove leopardhajer, der glider lige under overfladen fra juni til september. På en rolig morgen kan snorklere flyde over vand med 15 meters sigtbarhed og se rokker flagre forbi som undervandsfugle.
Insidertips
- Skip the main beach on weekends, head to the south end of the cove for quieter water access.
- Wear water shoes, the rocks are sharp and the sandy area is small.
- Best photos come from the cliff-top path at the Ellen Browning Scripps Park overlook, especially during golden hour.
- Look for the sea lion nursery at the far left end of the beach, mothers and pups stay there from May through August.
