Rincon beach access is described as a rock dance for surfers. When you visit this beach, you'll understand why. The rocks aren't little pebbles, though the slope to the beach does end in pebbly and fine sand.  It is the bigger rocks that create challenges in getting to the water line.

Rincon surfing, California --While getting to the beach offers a bit of challenge (not much, just a little), the surfing is smooth sailing. During most days there are three places along the point to surf, but that doesn't always give you ample room. We call this truly the rush hour of surfing and talked to the surfers who come here. Many have been surfing Rincon for 30 or 40 years.  The majority come from Santa Barbara and Ventura.  But with its world reputation, they also come from all over the world. Just an exit from Highway 101, as travelers drive along the coast, they see the ocean open up to the north of Ventura. Beyond the oil pier, Mussel Shoals and Seacliff you'll see this bend in the coast with a cliff, trees, and surfers almost always.  And it isn't usually just one or two surfers, but dozens.

Is it a mirage, you ask yourself. What is all the interest in that one specific point?  That was just how I first discovered Rincon on my many, many road trips between Southern and Northern California. I kept noticing surfers as I was driving. They were always there.  So I got out a map after I returned from one trip and couldn't quite map the point with the usual searches.  But add the word "surfing" to a net surfing search and you eventually find what locals wouldn't mind keeping kind of quiet.  It is called Rincon, and it's known amongst surfers.
