Description:
Garrapata Beach is a nice beach noted for its scenic beauty. Rangers have been given discretion to cite nudists if anyone complains, and with a lot of families here on weekends, the likelihood of complaints is increased.

* A mile of clean sand, lagoon, coves, caves
* Wildflowers in spring and early summer
* The central part of the beach can be cooler than the ends because of the wind

Who's at Garrapata Beach: Clothed and unclothed. Singles, families, locals, tourists, gays, and straights
Garrapata Beach Facilities: None
Garrapata Beach Activities: Swimming not recommended. Waves are very hazardous


Driving: South of Carmel on CA 1 near milepost 63.1, shortly past the Garrapata State Beach sign, 9.6 miles south of the Rio Road traffic light in Carmel. The house below is just beyond the parking area

Parking: Large parking area along the highway

Walking: The obvious trail leads to the middle of the beach. Near the beach, it forks. The left trail goes down to the middle of the beach and the right one follows the edge of the cliffs, eventually descending to a creek and the beach. This path could be dangerous when the creek is flowing strongly. The nude area is on the far north end of the beach
