A bit hot today and the cave was filled with broken glass. The ropes with knots helped the kids get down to the beach with was fun and an adventure for all. The smokers and nudist on the beach were a little traumatic for the kids but offered some valuable teaching moments.

Quick fun trail
Short hike with great view of beach activities. Some of the hike is paved, but most is dirt access road and finally beach access trail.
Beautiful views, not too crowded when I did it a few months ago. Agree with the other reviews, parking can be sketch, litter etc. But not so much I wouldn't go again!
Fun and easy hike, good for a small family adventure.
The hike was nice ... lots of poison oak and lots of litter
