Palm Beach State Park is a popular day-use area of the beautiful Sunset State Beach, offering a separate entrance for visitors looking to take advantage of grassed-in park facilities during their day at the beach. The Monterey Bay park area is located near the beautiful Pajaro Dunes Resort, overlooking grassy beachfront dune areas that may be hiked as part of self-guided excursions.

Fishing is permitted at the park at several areas, with picnic facilities and barbecue grills available for visitor day use. Lifeguards are staffed on duty at the park and beach throughout the summer months, with public restrooms and showers available for use. Dogs are permitted within the beach and park areas on leashes, though they must be kept away from condominiums and personal residences at the nearby resort. Free parking is offered on nearby streets throughout the area.
