That’s a difficult one. I can tell you that we parked in the well-signposted car park and walked to the beach. We spent about half an hour walking towards and near Haystack Rock then another half hour or so walking back.

They are actively discouraging visitors to climb the rock, but it looks pretty reachable if the tide were out.
What is the area called 1 mile south of haystack with caves and waterfalls that is mentioned in a review? Is there a viewpoint or area to park instead of walking 1 mile down the beach?

A:
You can park at the large Tolovana parking lot bordering the beach near the rock. There is a ramp and/or stairs onto beach. The only day you can park on the beach is in summer …
You can park at the large Tolovana parking lot bordering the beach near the rock. There is a ramp and/or stairs onto beach. The only day you can park on the beach is in summer during the sandcastle contest.
