The parking is located on the bluff above the beach; the beach can be reached via a set of stairs or a funicular.

California's first state beach, Doheny covers 62 acres of scenic oceanfront. Beach activities include volleyball, swimming, sunbathing, kayaking, windsurfing and tide pool exploration at low tide. This is a great beach for beginning surfers; surfing is restricted to the day-use beach north of San Juan Creek. Doheny's westerly swells are best during the summer months.
