La Piedra State Beach

La Piedra State Beach has beautiful sandstone cliffs, and fine reefs and kelp forests for diving. The trail down to the beach is steep but well kept. If you enjoy surf-fishing, then cast out near the kelp beds and you may catch a large white sea bass. In October, lobster season opens so put on a mask and gloves and catch a few for the barbeque. When the wind is strong and the ocean is choppy, the thick kelp beds still provide glassy conditions for surfing.
