High bluffs border the beach to the north and south, while wetlands and a lagoon can be found behind the beach. Nearby, the Muir Beach Overlook provides spectacular panoramic views in every direction (when the weather's clear, of course).

North of the beach is the small community of Muir Beach. Dogs allowed on leash or under voice control in designated areas (excluding lagoon).

Help us keep this beach beautiful and dog-friendly:
• Always follow the posted rules
• Respect natural marine life and habitats
• Be aware of tides and currents
• Pack in and pack out, leaving only paw prints
