What is the trick to finding Pfeiffer Beach?

Use Googlr Maps, Apple Maps or Waze. Extremely sharp turn off of Highway 1 if coming from the north.

We were there in mid August and the parking person said to get there before 11am to have no problem parking.

Pfeiffer Beach is where the keyhole is. During winter solstice the key is activated at dusk
Q:
Can we make a reservation for parking? I have heard on many occasions people could not visit the beach for lack of parking.

Hi. I don't think you can make a parking reservation. It's first come first serve. I went there around 5 which was just before sunset and I didn't have a problem.
