About

Painted Rock Beach is full of beautifully painted rocks commemorating family vacations, loved ones who have passed, and gorgeous ocean scenes. While there, you can look through all the different rocks or add your own. The origins of the beach are uncertain, but it's believed the tradition began with a local family during the 1970s.
