This beach is easy to access, has a river running through it, and a cool cave to the far right. If you bring a boat, paddle up river around the corner and watch for the otters. Good fishing up the river as well. If you drive north on the coast road from Moonstone to the town of Trinidad, every wide spot in the road is another great beach:)

At really low tide you can get to the cave on the ocean side of the big rock. Also, look for the shelf tidepools and the maze of tunnels/caves on your left as soon as you come down the trail. Lots of surfers come here. At really low tide you can walk south and find lots of little pocket beaches and a waterfall. Watch the tide!

City/town information
Quaint coastal town. Good local grocery store called Murphy's that's right next to a great pizza place. Almost across the road are two cute gift shops, Wind And Sea, and the Sea Around Us. Great coffee shop just around the corner on the left. Down at the pier itself is Sunset Restaurant, and a little beach right below it that's fun to play on. Good tidepools under the pier when the tide is low.
