Little Treasure Cove
Public beach
👍👍 Such a cute place. Go at low tide to be able to get into the cave. You can go to Crystal Cove Park and park in lot 1. $15 entrance fee per car. It's the closest to this cove. Most of the trail is paved, so would be okay for a stroller or wheelchair.

Tide Pools
Public beach
👍👍 This place is so beautiful. It's great for swimming, surfing, searching for little sea creatures or looking for pretty rocks and shells. Be prepared to walk down a decent sized hill to get to this spot, but I was able to do it on crutches, so as long as you're mobile, it's not bad. This is a great s...
