Nice little hike to a unique feature. Almost anyone can get there and the view is amazing. There is some construction going on but it is accessible

What a cool little hike to an awesome cave and view of the ocean. 10/10 go see it, but also be respectful and take your trash with you. Thanks in advance!

Great place to take some photos if you are local, or driving pass this area. If you live one hour plus away, and going just for this - I say not worth the drive. Free dirt road parking nearby, and will be a 5-8 minute dirt road walk to get to the spot.

Fun trip. There is a small parking lot with some good views. A short walk down the dirt path will lead you right to the cave. The path down to the beach is a bit more treacherous but if you don't mind naked guys walking around, it's worth the risk.

Very cool off the beaten path to a secluded beach or cave that leads to rocks that have tons of tide pools to checkout!

This is a fantastic place. I like the cave and the small cove. But unfortunately the arch is gone, it collapse and fall into the sea. It is surprise me very much, it was there last year.

Great view, neat little paths throughout and some challenging chalk cliffs. I lost my hat to the left of the lone boulder. It's yours if you can reach it.

Worth the stop

This is a nude beach. It's beautiful and definitely worth checking out. The water is calm and peaceful. There are steps going down to the beach and the smugglers cave is AMAZING!!! There are several caves below and on the other side of the beach.

Beautiful, Beautiful park!! Lot’s of amazing views & trails. No facilities on site that I noticed. A clothing optional beach is located nearby. I recommend good hiking shoes.

I absolutely love this beach. But, I have to say. This is not a family beach, for the family to bring there younger kids. I am saying this because, clothes are optional.

A very cool cave located at the end of a small peninsula. The views through and from the cave and spectacular. Well worth a visit with some other unique places near by.

This place is so cool! It's a cool place to hangout and watch the ocean. Tap on the video to see an impossible viewpoint only possibly with a 360 camera. The video preview won't show it.

Beautiful place to visit, I started from Shell Beach Road and hiked Ontario Ridge Trail which over looks the whole area. A round 45 min hike one way.

What a beautiful place. Very short hike with a little incline, but manageable for anyone 3+ years old. Only things that "ruined" a part of this beautiful spot are the countless graffiti on the wall of the cave. Watch out for the little ones, steep cliffs!

The blue water really calms your soul.
Sunset is beautiful .
