For a few months each year this is one of the most beautiful parks in California, and an absolute gem of trails of varying difficulty and perfect for hiking and trail running. There is plenty of parking, facilities of all kinds including very clean bathrooms, and fields and picnic areas so it's great to take the family for an afternoon.

It's a perfect spot to soak up the sun while listening to the crashing waves on the shore. Super clean! Lifeguard s on duty makes one feel safe! Volleyball courts! I mean this is the spot!

I love this park! It’s well maintained although the road in the park really should get repaved. If you drive further back there is a sink near picnic tables that has running water and there’s another faucet near tables past the playground. Not sure if the water is potable so I can’t recommend drinking it. There’s a dog park that has a fence around it and it looks like dogs enjoy it. I don’t talk to any of the dogs in person but they sure look happy. There’s courts (I’m assuming tennis) located to the left when you first drive in and they look well kept. The bathrooms are clean and always had toilet paper when I had to use them. The fields are really big and I’ve been here during little league and it gets packed! Not all the time but sometimes. Lots of shade to park under and great place to just chill.
