Parking at Abalone Cove Tide Pools

There is one main parking lot. The upside is that limited parking means limited people using the reserve at any one time.

While dogs are not allowed on the beach, you can bring your dog for a picnic in the upper picnic area and on designated trails.

Dogs

It is possible to bring a Bob stroller or a toddler down and back up, but you may want to pack light and be prepared to go slow.
