Jade Cove
Jade Cove is located in the southern area of Big Sur on the California central coast.[1] There is a steep 0.1 miles (0.16 km) trail from the Plaskett Campground to Jade Cove the cove that ends in a rope-assisted drop to the beach. The beach can be dangerous during high tides and storms.[2] The cove is 2 miles (3.2 km) south of and just over 3 miles (4.8 km) north of Gorda, California.[3] I
The Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary permits individuals to collect loose nephrite jade from an area south of Sand Dollar Beach to Cape San Martin and up to 90 feet (27 m) deep offshore. Individuals may remove only what they can individually carry. Only hand tools are permitted.[4][5]
