Loved the less busy, less crowded yet still big beautiful and expansive beach so close to the hubbub of downtown :)

Dog friendly (pick up your pets #2 so they keep it that way) and good place to watch the sunset!

Nice beach, parking is very limited. Best to go to on the week days.

Nice local beach. Not too crowded. Good waves for body boarding.

Beautiful quiet little beach. The waves were strong and huge. The sounds of the waves beating against the beach and rocks were very exhilarating and calming to the nervous system. I loved just sitting in the sand and feeling the wonderful healing energy of mother earth, and the warmth of the sun, with a cool breeze and blue skies.
