Greenwood State Beach, State beach in Elk, California.
The 47-acre coastal area features a sandy beach where Greenwood Creek flows into the Pacific Ocean, bordered by rocky cliffs and offshore formations.
The beach occupies the former site of L.E. White Lumber Company, which operated from 1884 to 1916 and used a wharf for shipping goods.
The former mill office now serves as a visitor center and museum, displaying artifacts and photographs from the region's lumber industry heritage.
Visitors can access the beach through a graded trail from the Highway 1 parking lot, with facilities including restrooms and picnic areas.
The protected cove contains notable rock formations including Gunderson Rock, Wharf Rock, and Casket Rock, making it a destination for sea kayaking.
