Local Beaches

The Beach just at the end of our road. Very popular spot for long board surfing. At high-tide there can be limited space for sunbathing. There is a small parking lot, which is usually full on weekends but you can often times catch a surfer leaving.

Come here and visit the Hotel Del. They just did an amazing renovation and the restaurants are gorgeous. They now have a causal taco restaurant with live music right on the sand!! If you are feeling adventurous, take the boat over from downtown and then rent bikes at the landing to explore the town.
