To get to this beach you would park at the Seven Seas Beach lot and walk to the end to Seven Seas beach where you will see the beginning of the trail. Plan to go early and come back in the late afternoon, otherwise it will be a very hot hike. It is an easy hike that takes about 25 minutes. The scenery is beautiful and the reward at the end is worth the walk. There is a secluded beach that is calm and is shallow to your ankles for about 30 feet out. Since it is a hike i would recommend packing the smaller cooler. Don’t forget the floaties! Going in your water shoes is fine. Although you won’t need them to get in the water. Don’t forget the sun screen and bug spray.
20 minute drive. Nice calm beach - no water shoes needed. If you go I recommend going early.
