I visited this beach in August while attending a music festival at Camp Navarro. It's a 15-20 minute drive to this beach from camp. This is my 2nd year visiting and both times were cold and windy even though back at camp it was hot. I attribute this to the position of the beach and the mountains/cliffs that surround. It's like the wind funnels down through and across the beach. I highly suggest you bring a hooded sweatshirt or jacket and pants just in case. There are beautiful home made teepees constructed from the driftwood that washes up that you can actually go inside and take a break from the wind. There's a bathroom and a couple porta potties. The parking lot is kind of small. Be aware, no lifeguard on duty.
