Moss Landing State Beach Access offers a 0. 06-mile accessible beach access trail on packed sand leading to the jetty, with roadside parking near the trailhead at the end of Jetty Road.

The beach features ample parking, restrooms, and is popular for surf fishing and windsurfing, though visitors should be aware of dangerous rip currents and strong offshore conditions.

Located 16 miles north of Monterey on Highway 1, the site provides scenic views of Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary and is an important stop along the Pacific Flyway for birdwatching.
