About No Surf Beach in San Diego, California
The San Diego area beach known as “No Surf Beach” is located between Hill and Froude Streets below Sunset Cliffs Boulevard in the Sunset Cliffs neighborhood. There is a short steep trail on the south end of the beach that is the safest route down. There are a few other steeper more exposed routes that should be avoided, especially if you are carrying items to the beach. At high tide there isn’t much dry sand in this small cove, but at low tide, excellent tide pools are exposed.
Despite the name there is a surf break at the center of the cove and surfers might be out in the waves.
South of the beach there is a hole in the bluff where waves roll in under a rock arch. A fence surrounds it to keep people from falling into this sea cave, but it’s still easy to see. During a significant minus tide (a tide of -1 or more) you might see photographers and curious adventurers wading around the point to get into this roofless sea cave. This should not be attempted unless the seas are calm and you are comfortable traversing a wet and rocky route. Check tide tables to look for these rare tides.
Another rock arch is nearby and much safer to view up close. Walk or drive a short distance to the parking lot just north of Osprey Street. The arch is visible from the parking lot and might have people sitting out on the point.
