College Cove Access provides a trailhead to a secluded beach within Trinidad State Beach, featuring a separate parking lot accessed via Stagecoach Road (3/4 miles from downtown Trinidad).

The access trail descends from a wide main trail to the beach, which offers scenic rock formations popular for photography and a natural rock arch called "The Portal" accessible at low tide.

Free parking is available with amenities including trails, picnic tables, and toilets; note that some access trails have been subject to closures.
