Visiting the beach on a weekday was truly a remarkable experience. Although the entrance fee was around $8, I was fortunate enough to visit on a day when it was free. The beach was not overcrowded which made it even more enjoyable. I spent hours here, building my very first sandcastle and relishing in the calmness of the surroundings. It was an incredibly serene and peaceful experience that left me feeling completely relaxed.

The beach is an absolute gem! It boasts of enchanting little caves that you can easily explore by foot. At the summit of the hill, you're greeted by a panoramic view of the Pacific Ocean, where you can witness the waves crashing onto the shore. I had an incredible time here last summer, and I can confidently recommend this place to anyone looking for an unforgettable experience. It's a must-visit destination that's worth every penny!

The beach is an absolute gem, especially during the quieter off-season when finding a parking spot is a breeze. I highly recommend taking a stroll up the hill to the right, which is only a short .75-mile loop but offers stunning panoramic views of both the north and south.
