This beach offers good surfing, shore fishing and skin or scuba diving beneath the kelp forests. For surfing, there is a right-hand point break that favors a strong south swell. It is a slow mushy wave that holds its shape, making long rides abundant. In the summer when the waves are down and the water temperature is up to around 65 degrees, the water visibility can reach up to 40 feet. There is a nice stretch of sand that makes for a perfect location to lie out and sunbathe. The public access stairs are located just after turning on Latigo Shore Drive. There are no public restrooms or restaurants at Latigo so bring your own food and drink.
