WARNING: ⚠️
This area requires agility and stability in walking. The petroglyphs near the town are located at a scenic area that requires some preparation for visitors. The site features a rocky terrain with slippery and uneven surfaces, making it essential for visitors to wear appropriate walking shoes rather than sandals. To ensure a safe and enjoyable experience, it is recommended that visitors stay on the designated boardwalk to avoid falls.
The petroglyphs are not prominently marked, so careful navigation is necessary. No maps are posted to locate them. Upon entering the beach area, visitors should head to the right of the walkway to find the petroglyphs.
Petroglyphs are ancient rock carvings created by carving or pecking into rock surfaces. These intricate designs and symbols provide valuable insights into the cultures and practices of early civilizations. Petroglyphs are found in various locations worldwide, each telling a unique story about the people who created them. They often depict scenes of daily life, spiritual beliefs, and environmental interactions, offering a window into the past that enhances our understanding of historical societies.
To fully appreciate the petroglyphs and their historical context, it is advisable to allocate at least 30 to 45 minutes for exploration. This will allow for a thorough viewing of the carvings and the surrounding scenic environment.

Petroglyphs were interesting but not numerous. You need to walk over rocks to see them, so not an easy adventure if you need walking assistance.

Beautiful place to enjoy the ocean! There's an island right out front with sea lions you can hear barking. Lots of cool sea glass for art projects. You can also look at the historical petroglyphs, which are images carved into the rocks. It's just an all around neat place to visit!
