It doesn't have bathrooms or a parking lot. It does have picnic tables and a basketball court. There were people here with their dogs. It's a quiet area. In fact, a car drove up, parked on the street, sat there for a few minutes, then threw out 2 cans of alcohol out of their window.

On the day we went, there were tons of jelly fish washed up on the wet sand, so I had to be careful of where our dog, Zoey, walked. In any case, she had a great time there, so I'm very glad we went.

Also when we were waiting in the queue to pay for parking, some people drove right by us and parked. They looked like tourists and not an annual pass holder.

Great beach with incredible views, the campground was kinda forgettable though. Campsites were not…read morevery cozy or campy , no shade and not very flat. Bathrooms and showers were decent , just felt like our camp loop was kinda blah. Was windy and we were up on the hill and exposed so we didn't do a campfire. I've stayed at a lot of beach campsites and Sunset just didn't really hit the mark. 15 minute walk or 5 minute drive to beach so you aren't very close to the beach. Most of the sites were exposed so no real privacy to be had, not a bad place to stay or unpleasant but we stayed one night and it was easy to leave, when you stay at an awesome campground it's hard to leave and you want more and we definitely didn't have that feeling . A decent place to crash for a night passing through......but we probably would skip it next time!

There are two skate parks…read more Far off the street is an add-on type of skate park. There are a few of these throughout the state with a few items plopped on what could be a parking lot. Closer to the street is the new skate park, both with street and vert features. During opening day, the group from Skidmark Skate Mag were there, with free stuff--and a very long line. After the grand opening festivities ended, the serious skating began. It's a good small park with a centrally-located bowl, and some street features around the sides, including a wall ride and rails. There is a large quarter-pipe at the end away from the street. While the people who own H-Skate and their team were friendly, don't expect this of everyone. I can't emphasize this enough. Local people seem to be rude and aggressive far too often. That isn't like any other skate park I've visited in the state, thankfully.
