Salinas River State Beach Access
Salinas River State Beach Access provides multiple trailhead entry points to explore the Salinas River mouth and adjacent dunes via the mile-long Dune Trail, with parking available at Potrero Road and Monterey Dunes Way.
The beach features soft sand, extensive dunes, and wildlife viewing opportunities including shorebirds and the Salinas River National Wildlife Refuge, making it suitable for hiking and nature observation rather than swimming due to adverse water conditions and strong waves.
