Public Access Points

The Access points provides data on over 1500 public beaches spanning all 15 coastal counties. Each location includes attributes that define the characteristics of that beach, such as dog friendliness and wheelchair accessible. Access points were developed from the California Coastal Access Guide 2014 Book, and Experience the California Coast Guide Book Series (2005-2009). You can also visit the YourCoast App which offers a free guide to over 1,500 access points along the California coastline, which functions to search, filter, view photos, and more.
