The beach is 300 feet long and joins Picnic Beach at its southern end.

Popular activities include swimming, skin and scuba diving, and body surfing. Fishing is not allowed. Those wanting to fish should try Boat Canyon (next beach to the north).Because of the structure of the cove, it is very popular with families, and the water is usually crowded with children and waders.

Hazardous and rip conditions are evident in all directions. This beach is steep and has a shore break under all conditions. The crack around the north point is always a potential hazard and should never be entered or approached too closely. Under high tides or surf conditions the rocks and point are closed. During heavy surf conditions, the entire cove becomes a rip and pulls to the south. The rocks to the south separating Diver's Cove and Picnic and should be avoided at all times.
