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!

Great big old beach with lots of open sand. Very clean no garbage or just general nastiness some beaches experience. It's usually not too crowded when I've gone but even on the days that it was definitely a lot more crowded, there's so much sand and it's such a big beach and we're still plenty of places for everyone to sit and have plenty of room for activities and just beaching it up. Chyea come on!

Outdoor showers for after a day at the beach. You do have to pay for parking, but having lifeguards patrolling the beach make it a like less stressful. Ooh there is a awesome pathway to walk and just enjoy the coastal weather 😀

It's so beautiful. We parked at the park & walked the trail, sometimes walking on the beach. The trail takes you under & past the ventura pier. The kids loved it. We ended up walking over 2 miles before we realized it h had to walk back. Lots of others out bjiking, hiking, walking & etc too. Very nice. Paved walkway & various pit stops to enjoy!
