The beach is mostly sandy at low tide. It can probably be done near a high tide, but I recommend waiting for the tide to go out a bit.

Unnamed creek coming out of Bass Lake

• waterfall at (37.94153, -122.76805):

  route: The next set of waterfalls can be reached at a minus tide from Palomarin Beach. It's also possible to get the by starting down a faint trail at the intersection of the Coast Trail and the Crystal Lake trail. Near the end of the trail, do some bushwhacking off to the left (expect to touch poison oak), head down a steep and somewhat difficult hill that descends to the southeast point of Double Point, then head for the beach on the left.

Unnamed creek descending from Pelican Lake

• waterfall at (37.948, -122.7775):
  Name: Pelican Falls
  gps coordinates estimated from map, reliability unknown
  
  Only reachable via a rocky beach at minus tides? Elephant Seals mate here in winter and early spring. It's illegal and probably unsafe to visit when they're present, which would be the best time to find a convenient low tide. I plan to visit this someday in November, but November low tides are late enough in the afternoon that I won't return to the trailhead before dark.

• Just north of a promontory that's hard to get around even at very low tides, this looks like it would be a 25 foot waterfall after a heavy rain at (37.99850, -122.82446):
  
  I got there by traversing a near-vertical cliff a few inches above the water at a tide of -1 foot, with nearby buoys reporting 5 foot swells (the waves looked around 2 feet high to me). I could also have waded through water about a foot deep. Unless you're lucky enough to get waves this small, wait for a tide of about -1.5 feet.
