Rodgers Beach

The quieter cove next door, with the refinery across the water.

Around the headland from Baby Beach, Rodgers is smaller, quieter and has the refinery in full view across the bay. That view is exactly why it is worth seeing: it is the whole story of this town in one picture, the working plant on one side of the water and the fishing boats on the other. Calm swimming, local crowd, and the best place to end a day in San Nicolas.
