Greyhound Rock Beach

The beach features a large mudstone rock formation extending into the Pacific Ocean, surrounded by high cliffs and sandy shores.

The beach received its name from a ship named Greyhound that ran aground near the rocky shores during the late nineteenth century.

Local residents regularly gather at the beach platforms to observe migrating whales, particularly during the winter months of December through April.

The beach opens daily from 6:00 AM to 8:00 PM, with wheelchair-accessible viewing platforms and parking facilities located near Highway 1.

Between the larger and smaller parking areas, a quarter-mile trail descends to tidal pools containing numerous species of starfish and marine life.
