Willow Creek Picnic Area offers parking along Highway 1 with beach and creek access, featuring a narrow road down to a small parking area (approximately 10 vehicles) near the beach and creek pool. The day-use area charges $10 per vehicle and is open 10 a. m.

to 6 p. m. , with restrooms and picnic facilities available at the upper parking area. Note that the sandy beach may be inaccessible at high tide due to sneaker waves, and the beach is boulder-covered with some jade stones.
