Know before you go

Glass-bottom boats and water taxis from the marina run out to the arch constantly and are the easiest way to see it up close.

Go in the morning for calmer water and better light for photos.

Ask your boat captain to swing by both sides — the ocean side often has sea lions basking on the rocks.
