Access the spot from the pacific coast HWY. There is an otter rock exit about 6 miles north of Agate beach in Newport. Get off on the exit follow the signs to the park and tourist parking wholla. Head down the stairs to the cove.
another rescue
weekend before last another "surfer" had to be pulled from the rip, at about the same time that two kids further north drowned. To all you newbs and johnny-come-latelies: please, exercise some JUDGEMENT before you just blindly hop in the water! Take a few minutes and observe, and if there's any question in your mind--return your rental board (or strap your beater on top of your car backwards) and come back another day! It's not someone else's responsibility to come rescue you from the rip!!!

Nothing like Cowells
The wave is a bit like Cowells but the crowds sure are not. You must be from cali to even use that reference. This is a good spot with good people, if your too good for it go to Boiler Bay or Seaside. This spot hosts a variety of waves, in a variety of conditions. Best learning with glass/light N or E wind and small ground swells. This spot will be flat with N or NW wind swell. Beutiful setting and nice camping at Beverly Beach.
