Gibraltar Beach
Gibraltar Beach is about 1 mile from Lava Wall Beach. The area to the west of the campsites makes for spectacular kayaking with many sea caves to explore. Harbor seals like to hang out at the end of the beach, and for snorkelers or divers, garibaldi can be spotted everywhere! The coastline at Gibraltar is pristine and beautiful, which makes it a very special location.
Gibraltar Beach is fairly exposed to the northwest, but during the summer months, the water is generally quite calm. However, in the winter visitors can expect more wind swell at this location.
About the Sites
The camping area is located just behind the beach, safely away from any waves.
There are two campsites: Gibraltar Beach 1 (located on the east side of the beach, closest to Avalon) and Gibraltar Beach 2 (located on the west side of the beach, closest to Two Harbors). Each campsite accommodates up to six people.
Campfires are not allowed at this time.
