It's a really fun place that's filled with tons of people walking along the paved pathway along the beach, lots of good-looking people, lots...

Fabulous views even at night. Looks like a place that people overnight. Restrooms were clean.

Great beach and has extra area in the grass if you don’t want to be on the sand but still next to the ocean.

I think this is by far the best beach for families you'll find in Southern California. Kind of a hidden gem. Great facilities, amenities, and a clean...

We didn't stay long, but while parking was pretty full, there were spots available, and it's a short block or 2 walk to shopping, cafes, and...
