The site is a broad, open beach that contains sand dunes. The Little River forms the north boundary of the beach. It is open for day-use only, but the adjacent Clam Beach County Park provides camping.[1] Hammond Trail provides bicycle and pedestrian access to Clam Beach County Park from McKinleyville, California.[3]
