Greenwood State Beach

Enjoy the Sun, Sea & Sand

Greenwood State Beach also known as “Elk Beach” or “Greenwood Creek State Beach” is a mere 10 minute walk away from Sacred Rock Inn. This beautiful beach is located at the confluence of Greenwood Creek and the Pacific Ocean and offers a wide sandy beach with picnic tables. Visitors will be able to enjoy stunning views of the ocean and nearby Greenwood Creek, as well as unique sea stack rocks that decorate the ocean. On the northern edge of the beach during low tide visitors can explore a natural sea cave.

To access Greenwood State Beach, walk carefully southbound along the shoulder of Highway 1 (on the right hand side). You should come to a parking lot area directly across from The Elk Store that is the entrance to the beach. Walk down the pathway to the bottom of the trail where you will find the stunning beach. The park is open daily from 6:00am until one hour after sunset and dogs are permitted.
