Water Canyon Beach Trail Details
From the pier in Bechers Bay, follow Coastal Road south until you reach the turnoff for Water Canyon Beach. If the wind isn't too strong, walk along the water and explore the white sands here. Note: depending on the tides, the beach may not be directly accessible from the pier. Restrooms are available in the historic ranch area. You can find picnic tables by the road at the end of the airstrip at Water Canyon Beach and on the grass next to the historic ranch house.
