Good news we are starting to be able to open some things up for this weekend. We after tomorrow when Hwy 1 Moves the Southern closure North will be to open Plaskett Creek Campground, Sand Dollar DUA but trail to beach remains closed, Willow and Mill creek DUA’s as well as many trails in the Silver Peak wilderness accessed in the Salmon Creek area. Additionally Pfeiffer Beach will be reopened now that the repairs to the parking lot and road have been completed.

Any idea why Sand Dollar beach access is a no go? Maybe trail got washed out?
Yes, high surf and tides washed out the access to the beach. It will remain closed until that is repaired.
Thanks Kate
Will Sandollar beach access be open by end of August? I have been searching for 20 min and can not even find info on the current status....last updates are from May
Extremely doubtful that access to Sand Dollar beach will be repaired by the end of August, perhaps not even by the end of the year.
Hi Kate, is the road from SLO to Kirk creek campground closed? Or do we have to go from Monterey? Thanks for your help.
SLO to Kirk Creek is open
Any update on sand dollar beach access for summer 2024? Is the trail to the beach still closed?
Based on personal observation, I’d say it is open.
