Carmel River SB  Access

Carmel River State Beach offers a popular access point for kayakers and scuba divers, with easy launch access to Point Lobos State Natural Reserve and nearby kelp forests.

The beach features a parking lot with restrooms and drinking water available; however, swimmers should be aware of dangerous unpredictable riptides and a steep drop-off that can create deceptively calm-looking conditions.

Dogs are allowed on leash, and the site is open 8 AM to sunset.
