About Davenport Beach in Davenport, California
Davenport Beach, a.k.a. San Vicente Beach, is the southern beach of two beaches right in the little town of Davenport, California. This beach is easily accessible and the other one is not. San Vicente Creek flows toward the ocean on the south side of town and empties into the ocean at Davenport Beach. The creek was re-routed long ago through a large tunnel in the rocky bluff that can be found at the north end of the beach. This tunnel and some deep rock arches are definitely worth checking out. The south end of the beach has high cliff walls, a stunning tall rock in the surf, and a feature known as the “Davenport Crack.”
A parking lot for the beach is on the ocean side of Highway 1 near the main intersection in town at Ocean Street. From the parking area walk across the railroad tracks and head to your left until you find a trail that drops down to the beach below. There are other walking paths on this area known as Davenport Bluffs. Davenport Beach with the rock just offshore is a frequently photographed site especially at sunset.
