Gerritsen Inlet View

Highlight • Viewpoint

Nice view, but the path is quite narrow. Don't let passing biners drive you around!

This is a lovely and quiet beach that is not over crowded. Portable toilets are available on both sides of the purple and white building. As of August 2025, the outdoor water fountain is not functioning, but you may find vendors selling bottled water near the entrance. If you're in the area, it’s a great spot to for a swim.
