Can I get some seashells in here?

Yui Amano | Sep 15, 2018
K Lotz | Sep 15, 2018

There are not many shells at this beach. I believe it's a protected area in the Monterey Bay. If you want shells get them at Fisherman's Wharf.

Is the beach dog friendly? Can I walk my dog along the beach off the lead or must it be attached on a lead.

Stephen Graham | Aug 24, 2022
Joseph Nishiguchi | Aug 24, 2022

No dogs no fires no surfing no parties no swimming no digging no building no boating no scuba diving no games no sports and no fun whatsoever. Beware of very strong and deadly undertow and large aggressive sharks. The people of the growing homeless population are mostly friendly. I'm more worried about the sharks in the water and in the corrupted Marina police department

Can we sit on the beach?

Sandy & Sonny Grandaw | Sep 14, 2020
Kenneth “Jerky Man” Bates | Sep 14, 2020

Yes you can. They've gotten relatively lax on people visiting the beach. You can bring your chairs, sunshade, wakeboard etc. All they ask is that you respect social distancing guidelines.

Is it Dog friendly?

No dogs allowed but they are up the street to the North. Can't recall the street name. End of street by RV park. 500 yard walk but it is fenced so your dog can't run loose in the dunes.

Is there an entrance fee or how much is parking?

AKS Hun | Sep 15, 2018
PriceLass | Sep 15, 2018

Not a great deal of parking at the main parking lot, but if you are able bodied there are several access points. You can park all the way down to the last access point and walk.

No. Not at the main entrance. Down the side road past the hotel, at the end of the road, by the RV park, there is a dog entrance.

Any Nude beaches around?

Not sure about that. The California State Parks is stationed here at Marina beach so if you go buff, it could get tough lol.

Right up the road from the beach is a restaurant that goes along with a timeshare that's there. But it is a public restaurant and I've been going there I'll send on its changed names, for about 10 years it's really good. The Best Western is right across the street.

Can dogs go

Mari Arellano | Sep 15, 2018
Charles Ardinger | Sep 15, 2018

The main area does not allow dogs. On the road to the beach, just before the main entrance, there is a road to the right. It goes past the hotel and rv campground. At the end there is a dog entrance. It is a long walk to the beach. It is the same beach, only a half mile from the entrance. Since not everyone cleans up after their dogs, all dog owners have to enter here.
