The beach was absolutely gorgeous! Despite the presence of other beach-goers, it was surprisingly serene and not nearly as packed as some of the more well-known beaches. However, be forewarned that the path leading down to the beach is quite steep and paved, so make sure you're up for the challenge of making the return trek. Nevertheless, I highly recommend this beach with its stunning waves and rock formations.

I used to believe that this beach was Crystal Cove, but I have recently discovered that I was mistaken. However, I must say that this beach has golden sand, which adds to its beauty.

Good beach, but parking can be a challenge due to the residential area nearby. The streets tend to fill up quickly with cars.
