Joshua Hoskinson: "A nice alternate beach, easily accessible. Not a ton of parking, but the extra parking lot one block up 7th St is a big help when its a bit crowded. Oh, & the coffee shop nearby is good stuff."
USA TODAY: "Credit for stand-up paddle boarding here goes to local supermodel Marisa Miller who has her own line of boards. Perfect place for getting out on the water and some surf is easy enough for beginners."
People also say (20 tips):
Athonia Cappelli: "These are south facing beaches. Sunset is not over the sea until October here. Pedestrians, please stay right on the path so that bikes can pass. Both are allowed on the sidewalk. Best surf 🏄 in CA!"
Shaina Prasad: "Absolutely love love love this spot. Best place to reflect and let the waves fix it all"
People also say (45 tips):
Caroline Deng: "A hidden gem along California's coastline. Stop by during sunset for scenic views of the last remaining "natural bridge" out of the original 3."
Penny Smith: "The view is # 1 but the parking is large enough to maneuver easily. Nice beach & soft sand for maximum exercise!"
