I absolutely adored this beach! The waves crash onto the shore with such force that the water becomes deep quickly. However, I would advise against bringing young children to play in the water as it may not be safe for them.

The beach is vast and immaculate, boasting fantastic surfing conditions. Our visit on a balmy Saturday in May was accompanied by four-foot waves, yet there was ample room for everyone to enjoy both the beach and the waves. It's truly a hidden treasure in San Diego County! Sequoia Street and Garfield Street offer street parking, while a reasonably priced paid parking lot near the jetty is also available. I would return in a heartbeat!

This beach is truly a sight to behold - it's absolutely stunning! However, be warned that it can get quite busy on the weekends. Despite the crowds, both locals and tourists alike make a concerted effort to keep this slice of paradise immaculate. The atmosphere here is so peaceful and tranquil, it's impossible not to feel at ease. ☺️

This pristine beach with a generous expanse of 10 yards of dry sand and 5 yards of wet sand, all set on a gentle 30% incline that leads down to the mesmerizing dark blue water. A paid parking lot is conveniently located below Tamarack Avenue, while street parking is also an option. Visitors can avail of restrooms and the watchful eye of lifeguards, although firepits are not available. The beach is a surfer's paradise, but families with small children should be mindful of the deeper waters.
