Miles of quiet sand, gentle enough that beginner surfers use it, and rarely crowded. Two things to know: reviewers repeatedly raise sewage flowing from the Tijuana River, so check water quality before letting kids swim, and public access points are hard to spot if you have not been before.
This wide, gently sloping sand beach flanks the pier and stays refreshingly uncrowded compared with beaches farther north, with lifeguards, showers and volleyball courts for an easy family day. Check surf and water-quality postings near the pier before swimming, since the estuary is just south.

Beautiful. Not too many people. Please keep it clean and don't you dare try to collect any rocks. We got to see a Karen experience unfold.

A nice quiet Beach and a good place to watch the sunset. Now if they can just get the Tijuana River sewage straightened out. It'll be a great Beach to spend the whole day and go surfing and swimming
