Description Suggest change

Can be crowded with beachgoers, but they will politely move and watch you crank on the boulders. The tides and beachgoers bring/leave lots of trash around the boulders. Do your part and bring a trash bag and carry out what you can. There are trash and recycling cans at the southern tip of the parking lot. Good stewardship matters.

The difficulty of climbing depends on tide levels and the shifting of sand. It can be a little on the slick side depending on the fog level along the coast. 

The rock quality is superb for the most part. So get your shoes on and get cranking.

Also, the town of Stinson is quite a nice little place to hang out and have a good meal or just take a picnic lunch with you, but don't forget to bring a decent bottle of wine along to enjoy after climbing. Box wine is unacceptable here as you're in wine heaven.

Getting There Suggest change

Just north of Mickey's Beach off of Highway 1. Go north on the (1) from the (101). There are signs that lead to Stinson State Beach. Hike down to the south end of the beach where all the boulders are.
