The Visitor Center is open 7 days a week, from 10am - 4pm during October-January. At other times of the year it is open primarily on the weekend and Fridays. The park itself, trail, beach, and Monarch grove are open from 8am to sunset.

Natural Bridges State Beach is open to the public all year long and is staffed full-time during Monarch butterfly season in the fall. We can loan out a regular wheel chair and a sand-safe wheel chair once the visitor has filled a short form and loaned their driver's license.

Parking is $10 per car load. Please use the Iron Ranger pay station if someone is not present at the kiosk.
