Love this beach so peaceful and beautiful. Pretty flat makes it easy to walk and lots see when the tide is out.
A really nice spot to take a break and hike.
Made a quick stop, nice view. Did not go on the short trail, would likely have a higher rating if we had, but trail went downhill and I was too tired from excessive hiking earlier in the day to do anymore

Reviews
Whaleshead Viewpoint offers a peaceful and beautiful beach with easy walking trails, spectacular views, and the opportunity to enjoy solitude away from crowds. Visitors appreciate the flat terrain that makes walking effortless, the sweet little bench for relaxation while taking in the beauty, and the stunning sunset views. Some mention a steep trail down to the beach but find it worth it for the wonderful scenery. Despite a sketchy drive down to the beach, most reviewers find it manageable and rewarding.Review score

This spot was absolutely beautiful! We spent it about 10 minutes at the viewpoint and saw in a distance whales and their water spouts coming out of the water. Definitely worth it to stop by.
Easy hike with easy inclines. Its pretty but it won't take your breath away like some trails in this area. If you're new to hiking or looking for something easy, I would do this.
