A couple of times a year you can see Monarch butterflies during their migration. They are not in the numbers of years past, but you'll still see some. If you walk north towards the rocks during low tide you will find some amazing tidepools full of sea anenomes, sea urchins, starfish, crabs, hermit crabs, and all sorts of marine life. The tidepools are on a ledge, so the tide needs to be quite high (>4 ft?) to reach them. The beach is absolutely stunning at sunset. #localsecrets](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6666/b5aae69b-1420-44c5-9700-09c18e2d48b0.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=960&h=540&p=1&q=medium) Photo by rabbit.Hole ![Not only is the beach beautiful but there is a refugee for wintering monarch butterflies!

Our upstairs neighbors made noise and sounded like they were moving the furniture around all night long, the room had smelled like it had been hot boxed with smoke and in the morning there was no hot water available even after running it for over 30 minutes. The management staff was incredibly unhelpful, and even though we only stayed one night they refused to refund us for unused portion of our stay. This place is not only completely made up of scammers, but there were tweakers roaming the property all morning as well. Do not stay here.
