Know before you go
A little care.
A better day out.
Public access
Use Montaña de Oro State Park’s established cove access. Check the official page for day-use and road notices.
Keep the coast wild
Rocky edges, surge, and a rising tide can cut off exploration. Don’t treat the cove as a swimming recommendation.
With your dog
Leashed dogs are allowed on Spooner’s Cove Beach, roadways and campground; not on park trails.
