Timing:
- Start Time: 1pm
- Reached Hole-in-the-wall: 1:45pm
- Returned to Vehicle: 2:30pm
I explored the hole-in-the-wall and nearby the primitive trail, which has a rope to help climb up and over the cliff at high tide.
Parking:
- There is somewhat limited parking (at least for day hikers), though I got lucky and grabbed a spot as somebody was leaving.
Lovely beach, hiked around higher tide so the beach was rocky and had to watch a bit for waves at parts since I had regular tennis shoes. Many pelicans were out! The hole-in-the-wall is inaccessible to walk through at higher tide - based on other trip reports / descriptions, you can walk through at lower tide.
This trail is also the start of the 30-mile North Coast Route (wta.org/go-hiking/hikes/north-coast-beach-travelway), so I saw a number of backpackers alongside the day hikers and beachgoers.
