Review & FAQ:

Pudding Creek Beach is a public-use beach that is located near MacKerricher State Park, underneath a former train trestle that is now operated as a recreational trail bridge.

The beach is located within a deep sandy cove at the mouth of Pudding Creek and is surrounded by high rock walls, accessible via a free visitor parking lot along Highway 1. It is home to a large tidal pool and a number of meandering footpaths, which connect to hiking trails that lead south toward Glass Beach and MacKerricher Main Beach. Sunbathing and swimming are popular seasonal activities at the beach, along with tide pool exploration and biking.

Dogs are permitted at the beach on leashes, and public restroom facilities are provided for visitors.
