Westcliff Dr. meanders along the cliff from Natural Bridges to Cowell's and the wharf. Most cliffs along the road have riprap boulders protecting the roadway with only 2 structures on the ocean side of the road. A residence near Mitchell's Cove and the Surfing Museum housed in the lighthouse at Lighthouse Point. There is constant work on the roadway to prevent more erosion. The waves, at times, splash up over the roadway.
Access is somewhat limited but adequate.
Natural Bridges is a State Beach with no camping. There are several surf spots along West Cliff Dr. deemed good for experienced only. Steamer Lane at Lighthouse Point is world famous. Its access has recently seen a loss of part of the cliff edge adjacent to the stairway. In front of the Lighthouse, 20' of cliff was lost in one chunk a couple of years ago.
