Gray Whale Cove State Beach features a distinct area known as Edun Beach. This clothing-optional zone is situated on the right side of the staircase, and occasionally extends into other areas. Consequently, during peak times, nude individuals may be visible near the main stairway entrance.
In addition, visitors can explore an old WWII bunker situated above Edun Cove. To access the beach, visitors can park in the Highway 1 lot north of Montara and carefully descend the steep stairs.
The name Edun is derived from the word "n-u-d-e" spelled backwards. This beach is located in Montara, USA, and is a popular destination for those seeking an unconventional beach experience.
Visitor reviews highlight that visitors like the natural scenery, secluded areas, and ocean views at the beach. However, visitors complain about the tall and slippery stairs covered in sand and the recent incident causing fewer visitors.
Most visitors to Gray Whale North Beach often stay in the nearby town of Montara, which offers charming bed-and-breakfasts and inns. The area's proximity to other attractions like the WWII bunker and scenic coastal views makes it a popular choice for those exploring the broader San Mateo County coastline.
