Davenport Landing Beach

The beach features a protected cove with high cliffs, creating a secluded coastal environment along the Pacific Ocean shoreline.

During the late 1800s, this location operated as a significant whaling station, supporting the local maritime industry and coastal commerce.

The beach serves as a gathering point for marine researchers who document and study the diverse species found in the shoreline tide pools.

Visitors need to bring their own supplies as the beach does not provide facilities, and parking is limited to spots along the highway.

The area hosts an annual biodiversity documentation event where scientists record local marine species and coastal wildlife populations.
