Launching considerations / restrictions:
Beach might be a bit rocky at low tide. The sign might say that the park
is closed after dark, but there are no fences or anything.
Parking situation:
There seems to be adequate parking in the lot. If not, there is another
lot on the shore side of Ocean Boulevard, next to a playground.
Comments:
This beach is used for fishing by locals, and a few people splashing around.
There are signs saying no swimming. It would be a really nice place just
to hang out except for the cars zooming down Ocean Boulevard!
