Best for families with young kids
Shallow, calm waters with a sandy beach free of rocks, plus a well-maintained playground and nearby restaurants make.
Go for sunset views
The western-facing cove with ocean cliffs provides one of San Diego's best sunset photo spots, with benches at the overlook.
Arrive early on weekends
The small parking lot fills by late morning, though free street parking is usually available nearby with a short walk.
Plan for the steep ramp down
Beach access is via a long, steep ramp rather than stairs, requiring grip-soled shoes and some physical strength.
Check restroom conditions first
While usually clean, one reviewer reported very dirty bathrooms and noted toilet paper can run out by afternoon.
