One of the best sunset spots around. This is a free expression area, so you'll see nude people, and other wacky stuff. This beach is over 300 steps down from the road, and it feels like you're on at some kind of festival right in the middle of nowhere. Its a sight to see at any time of day.

This is just a short drive from the home and has an abundance of walks and trails to choose from. You can relax in the sand or find a picnic table and enjoy a meal. This beach is quieter and less packed than a lot of the beaches because it's further out for people to get to from downtown so if you're looking for a quieter/more family friendly spot, this is a good option.
