Came here looking for tidepools and were not disappointed! Originally tried Fermin but the walk down the bluffs did not look safe at all. Drove north and just discovered this—a steep road leads down and let’s you park right below the bluffs, where a magical system of sandy beaches and small sandy or rocky pools appears at low tide. We arrived 2 hours before low tide and it was perfect. Abundant if typical marine life in great health, plus sun warmed wading pools with sandy floors for the kids to splash in. Plus gorgeous scenery, many pelicans, Catalina in the distance, large ships passing, and a sighting of a zeppelin, which apparently moors nearby.
