The park boundary stretches inland from the beach up Mulholland Highway to high points in the state park and adjacent Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area. There are hiking trails, scenic viewpoints and fields of wildflowers to explore, especially in spring. Sequit Point divides the beach, east and west. The west side is best for sunbathing. Surfers and sail boarders like the east side.
Surfers call it a reef break and it is good all year.
Swells build against a sizable offshore rock and peel right for 150 yards. A buoy line separates the sail boarders farther east. They get a consistent afternoon wind that hits about two-thirds of the way down the beach. Lifeguards serve both sides of the point during the summer and a junior lifeguard program is offered during July and August. Rangers lead tidepool and nature walks and there is a small visitor center.
