Its Beach Beach

Located on West Cliff Drive, Its Beach is nestled under a major sea bluff, and offers views of Steamer Lane and the Lighthouse Point in the distance. During lower tide, visitors to the beach can head up to a rocky arch on the beach's north end. Parking is available along West Cliff Drive, and a clear path leads you toward a stairwell that descends to the center of the beach.
