Lots to do, dog friendly, good for beginner surfers. Not a lot of parking and it gets busy so you may have to park on the road, watch the signs as its in a residential neighbourhood

Beautiful. Easy to get to for those who don't know the area, and if you don't have a vehicle you could comfortably ride a bike with a surf board to the beach. The surf was awesome, and not too difficult for beginners.
