Rio Del Mar Beach

The Concrete Ship is the Palo Alto, It was intended to be a restaurant & dance hall when It was grounded & the wharf built out to it. It started to fall apart , so now only the birds get to go aboard.

Around twilight, move down the beach away from the people and you might see some incredible pelican dive-bomb action, fins poking out of the water (whales? porpoises?), and other creatures.

Get there early for the best parking . We go out by the bathrooms and head left. Break is nice when the tide is low/mid. Gets big at high.

Come for some serious cardio on 110-step stairs with ocean view . The stairs are lit at nite and there is always someone working out here. Grab your iPod and get a free workout.

Walk north to the Concrete Boat (SS Pali Alto) & beyond to Seacliff beach & then back south towards Hidden Beach . A great 3 mile walk/jog...

Our office is located on Venetian in Rio Del Mar , couldn't ask for a better place to work .

A great place to catch a sunset even when it's foggy further South.

Get here early for street parking to avoid the $10 lot charge. Amazing beach !

Dog friendly and free parking but the lot is small.

One of the best places to catch the sunset

good sandwiches at the little deli there

Good for a long walk on the beach

Wonderful walk path , miles of beach , and great place to share a family outing .

Easy going beach

Don't drink the water

Hold your breath when running/walking by the boat, smells like $h!t.

Get loose on the beach

Jump off the end of the pier .

Perfect day for a run!
