Access to the Otter Point and the beach to the north is from the Otter Point State Recreation Area. Otter Point State Recreation Area is accessed by turning off HWY 101 onto the “Old Coast Road” and following it until the SRA sign, along a short road to a small day-use area/overlook Most of the area to the north is private and has restricted access. To access the north end rocky area, follow the path (approximately 0.1 mi) that leads towards the point and opens up to a grassy knoll. From there it is possible to reach shore level by using difficult unofficial trails that lead down from the grassy knoll. To access the south end rocky area, follow the main path from the cluster board to where it almost immediately branches to the left. The trail winds through the forest, across a bridged stream to Bailey Beach and across the beach (approximately .09 miles) to the south side of Otter Point.
