- Low tide can make a long walk to the water
The Naked Truth
Bring your water shoes for this one and plan to stay a while as the sunset will take your breath away. Crescent Rock has a friendly community of regulars who will be welcoming. As the name suggests, this is a rocky beach so water shoes are recommended. When the tide is out, it can be a long walk to the water. When it's high tide, though, it's a lovely swim in gentle warm water (in the summer!). Because this is a dog friendly beach and close to a textile beach, there can be heavy foot traffic through.
Insider Tip
Check the tide and avoid being here for low tide because it is tricky to cool off unless you walk a long way through seaweed. Take beach shoes either way to avoid the sharp rocks.
Who's Here
Lots of friendly locals, mainly couples. You won't find many tourists here, most visitors will head to Wreck Beach instead.
Beach Surface
Rocks and a significant amount of seaweed at low tide.
Access Difficulty
Moderate. Navigating slippery rocks and train tracks in the heat can make the walk seem significantly longer.
1 Reviews on “Crescent Rock Beach”
Crescent Rock Beach is super chill and easy going. I personally prefer it to Wreck as it is not as crowded and bussy. The beach does have active train tracks that run parallel to the beach which do have multiple trains a day that pass through which is always fun to stand up and wave to as they roll by especially the daily passenger train as it must be a real surprise to the passengers seeing a bunch of people relaxing and enjoying the sun, sand, and sea in the nude. Parking can be difficult on busy days so it is best to arrive early and definitely pay attention to signs as they do patrol and ticket and tow wrongly parked vehicles.
