Sunset
Edit SpotAbout
Great spot, some days as good as Malibu. Bummer about pollution though, the water here is never clear.
Atmosphere:
No hassles. Mostly longboarders. All ages and levels. Kooks tend to stay near lifeguard tower. Some boogie boarders. Relaxed vibe.
Additional Info:
Parking bites on crowded weekend and summer days. Park alongside busy PCH. Don't even THINK about a U-turn. Easy waves. Nice long rides on good days. Get blown out often with even the slightest onshore wind.
Added comment.
