This beautiful beach is only accessible via the private community of Irvine Cove. The two parts of the beach are separated by a rocky point that has a tunnel for passing through during very low tides. The majority of the people who visit this beach enjoy the larger, southern section of the cove.

Popular activities include all water sports, surfing, body surfing, skin and scuba diving, spear fishing, rock fishing, and skim boarding.

Major rip currents can develop. Surfing is done mainly at the southern end of the cove with most swimmers staying towards the middle to enjoy the water.

Note: This cove is governed by the Irvine Cove Homeowners Association, and some beach policies and ordinances may differ from the City.
