Small parking lot by the beach. Note it’s in a residential neighborhood and there are “no camping” signs.

Stayed one night. No camping sign. Nobody bothered me. You can see seals on the other side of the beach. Nice place

Wide dirt pullout on highway 197 just off 101. We had 2-3 bars of service the whole time we were here. A quiet spot to spend the night. We weren’t bothered.
Love, rogue slumber

Welp, “No Camping” sign here now and a big sketchy RV that lives here, from the looks of it. No go.

awsome spot! Perfect view. This is one of the reasons I enjoy vanlife so much. Few people are coming to walk their dogs on the beach, we didnt bothered anyone...

Great for car camping but to close to residential area to open up a roof top tent.

Mostly quiet except for the seals and the occasional person. Additionally it seems to be a popular meeting place for police officers. They didn't bother us, but depending on your opinion on cops, you may want to avoid this spot.

Still no signs here! Great view of the beach where there were lots of seals. No amenities but it was quiet and perfect for one night.
