From the reviews

A lovely pit stop to stretch out legs and dig out a water from the cooler. The lupin were in full bloom. The views aren't spectacular but it has a welcoming feel to the area. Easy in and back onto the highway. Will definitely make this a stopping point on future travels.

Nice place to stop and rest while you're travelling. They have clean restrooms and a covered picnic area with tables and benches. There is also nice access to the beach. Son and dog really enjoyed some time out of the car and playing on the beach.

★★★★☆ — Brian, Apr 2022

This spot is awesome and underrated. The facilities are clean and there is lots of parking available. I highly suggest taking a walk along the beach, but make sure to bring a jacket as it can be chilly. Also, beware of animals.

★★★★★ — Jonathan, Jun 2022

Nice Beach area for playing and exploring. There are tables in the open and a covered area with tables. Bathrooms but no sinks or faucets to wash sand off. Good place for a lunch break or fun on the beach.

Getting married at Redwood Creek Picnic Area

Redwood Creek Picnic Area is a public beach or park, so a ceremony here almost always needs a permit from the managing city, county, or state parks office — and the rules matter: many public beaches cap your guest count, set ceremony windows, and restrict what you can set up (some ban chairs, arches, and amplified sound entirely). There's no on-site coordinator, catering, or weather backup, so you'll bring your own vendors and a rain plan. The payoff is a stunning setting at a fraction of a private venue's cost. Start with our public-beach permit guide, then call the local office to confirm this season's rules.
