Good to know
Best for walking and jogging
The 2-mile paved path along the ocean offers consistent views and is popular for morning exercise before crowds arrive.
Reported good with little kids
Visitors often mention shallow or calm water. This is what reviewers report, not a safety assessment.Mentioned by 2 visitors · 2020–2026
Visit during storms for drama
High winds and big waves create exciting wave action, though stay back from the water's edge during severe weather.
Expect evening crowds and congestion
The path gets heavily used in evening hours, making biking slow and walking potentially crowded.
Do not swim in the water
Water quality testing has found bacteria levels unsafe for swimming despite the 'open for swimming' sign.
