When we were there
October 2014
Anchor Spot
Where we dropped our hook:
33º 23.1203′ N 118º 28.5641′ W
In around 20 feet
Holding
Sand bottom, good holding.
Set a stern hook to keep bow towards mouth of bay and into the swell.
Dinghy Landing
Easy beach landing.
The reef at the mouth of the anchorage protects the beach in most weather conditions.
Amenities
None.
There is a campground near by. The campers may or may not let you use their outdoor shower (it’s cold) and fill up with some water.
Activities
- Beach games
- Snorkeling
- Fishing
- Hiking
- Surfing
Safety
Very safe.
Use common sense, do not leave things out in the open or on the beach over night.
Weather
While we were there, the weather was warm, but the wind did switch. Because we did not put out a stern hook, Prism swung and was very close to the braking waves over the rock reef that protects the anchorage.
Transportation
None.
