If you need a quick fix like ice, water, or other basic supplies and food, the Caspar Store is a cute little general store located at the Caspar Beach and Rv Campground
Ocean Safety
Each year along our coast in our immediate area, many people are swept off the rocks or beaches and drown.
Please check weather alerts for high surf and never leave children unattended on the shore or on the rocks.
Even a calm day can bring numerous rogue waves that unexpectedly surge faster and farther up the beach than usual. Never turn your back on the ocean!
​
The headlands and bluffs are scenic and wonderful areas to explore, we lose people annually there too.
Steep drop-offs and crumbling edges, and not checking the path ahead are all dangers to avoid.
Please keep pets on leashes and keep children close by while exploring these areas.
​
Don`t be fooled by an ocean that looks calm. Large, unexpected “sneaker” waves can rush ashore without warning, sweeping people into the sea from rocks, jetties, and beaches. These waves can also move large objects such as logs, crushing anyone caught underneath. Never turn your back on the ocean.

A word of fog
It can be high and bright. It can be low and thick as heck. It can be freezing or mild. It can be so misty that everything is soaked in a short time. Sometimes it's as if the ocean has surrounded you on land and it smells like the salty sea. Sometimes it sits right over your event and the sun is just a few hundred yards away. And sometimes, it comes in, and goes, and comes in, and goes out, and comes in...There's no predicting it, (well, a little) and no avoiding it. Just accept it.
It's beautiful and can make some events quite magical and more intimate.
