This is the parking lot along the Coastal Trail at the Tidepools. This is the farthest parking lot to the tidepools entrance. Parking is limited. There are two accessible parking spots at this location. There are two other parking lots along Gatchell Road.
If the parking lots are full along the Coastal Trail, you can park up top in the Visitor Center parking lot and hike down the Oceanside Trail to access the Coastal area.
