Why go
Choose the sand for unstructured coastal time rather than a fixed attraction sequence. The beach extends well beyond the busiest pier area, so a short walk quickly changes the atmosphere. Ocean safety matters: observe posted warnings and lifeguard guidance before entering the water.
What to look for
- Step away from the pier to see how quickly the shoreline opens up.
- Look inland toward the bluffs and coastal city edge.
- Watch the changing surf and marine layer rather than expecting constant sunshine.
Useful to know
- Use designated crossings and follow current ocean-safety notices.
- Bring layers and sun protection, then combine the beach with the pier on foot.
