French Beach is a pebble beach where fierce storms with powerful winds make it fabulous and remarkable for storm watching. The water is high, and when the tide is low in the far distance, it appears. The beach is sometimes foggy, which adds a sense of mystery, and when it clears up, the gorgeous beach will manifest itself. French Beach is pristine, clean, and quiet, with a great view of the Pacific Ocean. There are lots of Driftwoods and huge logs to crawl on and a few starfish on the beach, which add to its beauty. It has so many rounded, smooth pebbles, and when the water laps the beach, you can hear the pebbles cascading. Big swells make this place attractive for surfers. French Beach storm watching would be excellent while you can have an enjoyable hike with its incredible views.
