👍👍 Best beach around!!!! Lots of sand with no worry of being washed out. Very little oil in the sand so your feet stay clean. Tons of volleyball courts and people playing all day every day. Clean and beautiful, definitely our favorite beach to go to and highly recommend!!!

👍👍 Nice little private beach. You can park in the parking lot on Shoreline street. Short walk to the top of the stairs. Nice little walking path down (about 200 steps) which takes you to the beach. Beautiful spot for sunsets.

👍👍 One of the most beautiful beaches that my wife and I were able to get to know. It's just wonderful to feel the sand under your feet and to see and swim in the blue of the Pacific Ocean. Also ideal for sunbathing, playing volleyball, running around, running, relaxing, cycling and simply wonderful. Yo...
