I have wonderful memories of going to this beach as a child, and am lucky enough to live near it as an adult. There is a beautiful view of the ocean from the parking lot, and bathrooms are close by once you walk down the stairs or ramp. It’s a perfect place for beach walks; I believe it is just over 3 miles if you walk to the pier and back. If you’re lucky you may see seals or dolphins.
I typically like to bring my dog on a leash, but recently there have been more and more dogs off leash. My dog gets a little too hyper when other dogs come up to him so unfortunately I have been needing to leave him home.
