Our Favorite beaches

This is our family favorite beach. It is about a 25 minute drive but we go there a lot. The small parking lot overlooks a well loved wave that almost always has surfers on it. If you are up for it, walk down the stairs to the tide pools (low tide) and a lovely beach next to the cliffs. This gives it more of a nature feel than some of the other beaches.
