Cleanish bathrooms at the beach . Bonus points for plenty of TP. The actual beach was totally covered in seaweed and swarms of bugs feasting.
This is a great beach for putting in for Stand Up Paddling . If there's a southern swell, there's even a surfable wave off to the right of the beach .
Great little beach , with ever-changing sceneries: could spot dolphins , pelicans, seals. Can take long runs to Capitola. Much less crowded too.

an urban campground. If you like the beach it's super close but it's not a campground where you want to hang out all day. Use it as a base to explore the local area like Monterey instead! - Barbara Stephenson
