A long walk can be a good thing, unless the tide comes in and then you have a really long walk back. Fun beach, lots of interesting people and things. More

a great place to watch the surfers or enjoy a relaxing nap under a tree! More

Great spot. I'm not a surfer so can't comment on surf conditions. That said, Swami's is well known for its surf. Parking lot/overlook is scenically breathtaking. Swami's restaurant across the street is a fine, local hangout for food. More

When there is a -1 or lower tide this is a great place to go tidepooling More
