This half-mile-long beach lies at the foot of rocky cliffs and offers restrooms and fire rings (arrive early to snag one). It's popular for swimming, surfing and volleyball.

All-day parking costs $18.15 (more during holidays), but spaces fill by 9am on weekends. If you’re lucky, you may find free parking atop the cliffs behind the beach along Ocean Blvd.
