They seriously need to upgrade the bathrooms as this is a highly trafficked park. Every person who I saw pull up paced back and forth between the two tiny doors complaining that theyre both genders. The restrooms are pretty gross. The views are amazing! Go potty before you visit!

Bates Road bike path offers one of the best ocean shoreline views anywhere on a devoted bike trail not just a bike lane

Absolutely gorgeous park with friendly locals and plenty of surfers to watch. The beach is kept quite clean and free of trash, and makes for great beach combing and tide pool viewing at low tide. The sunrises and sunsets here are out of this world.

An excellent run from Carp to the bluffs. I enjoy the over look and the trails down to the beach. Be careful of all the bees when the flowers are out.

This is a beautiful quiet beach between Ventura and Santa Barbara. There is a nice large parking lot which is rare for a beach I feel like. Theres a little walk down to the actual beach. There are tar deposits that you will get on your feet if you walk on the sand so have some baby wipes or something on hand.

What a beautiful park! Rincon is truly a hidden gem! Parking is a little tricky but if you get there early it’s a breeze. The beach is clean and the surf is decent. There are no near by bathrooms or market. The area is underdeveloped which makes it secluded and private. There are nearby camp grounds and the scenery is wonderful.

This is my moms favorite place. I remember she would bring my brother and I here when were kids. We even brought the grandkids and certain friends here too. We even visited the place as adults and still do. So it wasnt a surprise when she wanted us to spread her ashes here. RIP Mom ...

Go on a jog. Walk the dog. Build a hut out of washed up driftwood logs. Nice even if theres fog. Anyway..Plenty of parking. Covered Picnic benches. Bathrooms, and a rare working shower to rinse off. Horrible surf though ;)

Nice walking park. Flew my drone here with no problems but kept my distance from the seal preserves ofcourse. For those who are visiting or just need a rest stop and wanna do a little scenery walk this is a great spot. Im not sure about the rules of crossing the rail roads but please use caution if crossing. Trains usually pass by every 40 to 50 minutes.

Nice remote park with a road leading down to the beach. Many wooden piles of branches like a place to rest at. Pretty cool. Plenty of parking and picnic tables that have cover. Grassy area also. Bring the whole family.

Very Cool Beach; good Surfing, wide and interesting sandbar, Sweet tidepools and Rocks, lots of Driftwood, Well kept trails & stairs down, Horses allowed in the off season, a nice overlook of parking and picnic space, showers and bathrooms, kind of weird that they specifically exclude nudity, but overall a cool spot. Connects to the Bike Path.

Perfect weather and great beach. We cleaned it for California cleanup day. Not much collected compared to previous years. Only about 113 pounds of trash over 3.5 miles. Nudist area at north end never a problem!Gary

Was a bit of a climb down the stairs with a two year old, and beach got busy fairly quickly. We were glad to have arrived early as parking filled up. Dog friendly, most off leash but friendly.

If there were an option for all the stars in the sky itd be more of an appropriate rating. Shells are the best around here.

Rincon Park includes a beach to the west and the east of Rincon point. Besides being a legendary surf spot, the park is the entry to an amazing bike path along the coast. It boarders US 101, so it can be noisy, but the views are awesome! Bring a bike and ride down to the less crowded beach a mile down the coast.

Major surf point, amazing to watch the talent. Great walking beach sometimes, other times its all boulder hopping. Rincon is an extremely dynamic location. It literally changes every day. Its always always beautiful.

Review №66

Great beach that doesnt seem to be on peoples radar because it is not crowded whenever I have been there. My only gripe is that the waves leave much to be desired... So anxiety ridden parents should be okay with their kids.

Worth the drive from Ventura/Oxnard to have the kids play. Bathrooms located nearby, easy walk down. Explore the shore cliffs for fossils and some small tide pools at low tide.

Review №72

Excellent place to take the day and get away. Plenty of beach to explore.You can find fossils here if you are lucky. Mostly plant life but if you are real lucky you might find a fossilized fish from millions of years ago.If you plan in digging bring shoes.You can find tar bubbles on the beach. At the end of your trip check your feet. You might find some tar from walking along the beach. Truly prehistoric and filled with drift wood.Fun for the kids and whole family. Unlike most beaches you will ever visit.Got to see plenty of drift wood shacks from previous visitors. Very fun. Great view.

One of the best places for the beach close to Ventura. Water is icy, but the beach is secluded and away from the freeway. Plenty of parking tops it off.
