This beach was pleasant and well-maintained. It had a decent number of visitors, but not an overwhelming crowd. The people there were considerate towards one another. When we visited in early June, there was a significant amount of kelp.
This beach is one of our top three favorites in the area! Parking is convenient, reasonably priced, and you can pay with your debit card. The bathrooms are well-maintained, and there's a spot to rinse off sand before heading back to your car. The beach itself is stunning and typically peaceful, offering a relaxing vibe. Plus, the nearby restaurants and bars are within walking distance and are fantastic! Just a heads-up, there's plenty of natural wildlife around, so be mindful!
This beach is a true gem for sunset admirers! The tranquil azure waters provide a perfect escape for unwinding in the briny atmosphere. Unlike the crowded touristy beaches to the north and south, this beach has a more intimate, local vibe.
There's a fantastic beach close to shopping areas with plenty of parking available. Just keep in mind that parking costs $3.75 per hour.
This beach is a beautiful spot to check out, especially if you stick around for the sunset. Feel free to snap as many pictures as you'd like and soak up the sand, water, and ocean breeze. If you find yourself with some extra time, head over to Keegan's Seafood Grille for a drink, lunch, or dinner. Let me know what you think! Now, let's talk about the 12th Ave Beach Access. It's a great place to visit, but here's the deal: there are no public bathrooms, limited free parking, and only one handicap spot. On the bright side, beach access is free - not the best news, but it's good to know. The beach itself is narrow but pleasant, perfect for the local community and those in the know. If you do visit, please remember that there are no cleaning services available, so be sure to clean up after yourself. As one sign at another entrance says: "Leave nothing but your footprints."
