Rules
This is a dangerous place: waves can be very large, the water is cold, and the ways down cross steep, loose shale. Stay off private land and keep to the paths.
About the beach
The beaches at Davenport are known for art glass: floods on San Vicente Creek carried waste from the Lundberg Studios glass workshop into the sea. The pieces have recognisable colours and patterns.
