AI summary of 4 Google reviews — not a first-hand visit. How we write these
Grass bluff park above the sand, with picnic tables, restrooms and showers. Free street parking if you arrive early; it fills around the middle of the day. Low tide opens tide pools kids can poke about in. One reviewer warns stingrays are a recurring problem with no posted sign, so shuffle your feet in the shallows.
Calm family beach next to a grassy bluff-top park with a playground and ocean views.

Nice beach to take our 2 large dogs. They do have to remain on their leash though. They have decent bathrooms. There is parking for free on the street if you are early enough. It gets pretty busy around the lunch hour, this time of year with the kids out of school yet.b
