Message from Ryan & Katy Smilko

Pirate's Cove Beach is a hidden gem along the central coast of California, known for its secluded beauty and tranquil atmosphere. Legend has it that smugglers used this cove in the 19th century to offload their goods under the cover of darkness, giving the beach its intriguing name.

The 0.5 mile roundtrip trail to this beach is short and easy, with stunning views of the Pacific Ocean, clear waters perfect for snorkeling, and tide pools teeming with marine life, Pirate's Cove Beach offers a unique and relaxing escape for those looking to explore California's lesser-known treasures.
