Pebble Beach Day Use Area

Area Status: Open

This site is a most popular inner tube starting and take-out point. With the abundance of tables and shade ramadas, families like to camp out for the day at the water’s edge and cool off from the summer heat. During our busier weekends, Pebble Beach fills quickly, but is always a great place for playing in the water and non-motorized boating. This lush area is outstanding for birding.
