When I was stationed at El Toro Marine base in the late 70's and early 80's we often went to a place I think was called scotchmans cove to party for the week ends. We parked on a turn off from hwy 1 and literally walked down the cliffs to this particular beach it was very private, does anyone know where this may have been? It sems as thought when you turned off El Toro Rd onto why 1 we went a little ways on hwy 1 heading north.

Thanks

Kelly

Scotchmans cove is located at El Moro beach which is heading North out of Laguna off the 1. It's known to be a great scubadiving location. The trailer park community that was directly across the street, El Moro, is long gone and it is now a state park. You can still park, walk down the Cliffs and enjoy this place you remember.

Hi Kelly, I haven't been down to those beaches in some time, but it seems I remember there being a pretty easy access path from the top down, especially now that it has become state park area around there, I wouldn't be surprised if there were steps put in.
