Camping within the park is prohibited, but there is an unofficial campsite in close proximity to the beach. The beach is popular with anglers, but its lack of infrastructure and dangerous waves make it unsuitable for families with children.

There is a parking area available near the beach.
El Risco amenities include parking.
Visitor reviews highlight the beautiful views of the mountains and the lack of crowds as the best features of the beach. However, visitors complain about the lack of infrastructure and the presence of big rocks. Some visitors also warn about the dangerous currents during winter.
