Huge beach area, long shore. Lifeguards are on patrol so it is safer. Clean restrooms on both ends of the beach. There is ample parking. Free parking. Even if the lot is full when you arrive, within a few minutes you will be able to find a spot as people keep coming and going. This beach is fun! Pets are allowed on the right most part of the beach.

Stumbled upon this charming town, North of Muir Forest while looking for a gas station. The drive along the ocean was winding and hilly but the views were epic. The seaside cafe had the most amazing crabcakes. Probably my new favorite dish, served with the freshest sprouts and avocado slices. Neither of which I thought I would like but it was heavenly. For a non-touristy experience, something off radar this small town was quiet and soothing.

Oh where do I even start. My first time coming here was a month or so ago and I was in awe. The ocean is my happy place. But this one is now my favorite place. It's wide open. Great spots to park. Bathroom close to the ocean so you don't gotta go far. The view from the road to the view itself is just pure amazing. Wide open view. Just how I love it. Will be returning and taking my kids for their first time when they come out to see me in a week and half for my birthday 😁πŸ₯°

I had a bit of a strange experience here. There was no staff around so I ended up paying the fee ($15 for a day pass) by sliding money under the office door. I had to pay $20 because I didn't have an even $15. Maybe I can get a discount if I ever go there again! Anyway, the gym has a lot of equipment - enough for a good workout and then some. There are a lot of machines and free weights. The only thing I missed was a real power-rack (at least I didn't see one) - but there was a smith-machine at least. The equipment is spread out in the main building and outside in the garden, which was a bit peculiar but it works. There is a sound system where you can connect your phone and play your own music. This worked well for me because no one else was in the gym.

Yes. Facing the ocean from the parking lot, dogs are allowed on the right side (almost 2 miles of beach). The left side is NOT dog friendly.
