Overview
This is the simple, unmistakable marker that tells you you’ve arrived. It’s a quick, in-and-out stop—good for a “we made it” photo before you head to the real attractions deeper in the park.
What to Know
- There’s on-site parking beside the sign, so pulling over is easy.
- The sign itself has no restroom. Restrooms (and token‑operated showers) are located just beyond the entrance kiosk in the campground/day‑use area; showers are for registered campers and use $1 tokens for 5 minutes.
Nearby Facilities
A lodge, restaurant, and a small gift shop sit near the park entrance—handy if you want to grab a bite or a souvenir before exploring.
About the Beach
This park does not have beach or ocean access. Pfeiffer Beach is about one mile south of the entrance and has a separate entrance fee; it’s not part of the state park.
Best Time to Visit
Stop when you first roll into the park (or on your way out). It’s a quick photo pause—no need to plan around special hours or lighting.
Pros
- On-site parking right by the sign
Cons
- No restrooms at the sign
Tips
- If you need facilities, continue past the entrance kiosk to the campground/day‑use restrooms.
- Showers are token‑operated for registered campers only; tokens buy 5 minutes.
- Pfeiffer Beach is separate and about a mile south with its own fee.
