JFK once said, "all of us have in our veins the exact same percentage of salt in our blood that exists in the ocean, and, therefore, we have salt in our blood, in our sweat, in our tears" - "we are tied to the ocean" and when returning to the sea, "we are going back from whence we came".

The unfortunate part about parking is that you need a resident sticker or you will get a ticket.

The water is great for swimming and there is a lifeguard on duty in the summer.

The directions on your gps are a bit confusing, but if you find yourself going down an extremely bumpy dirt road for about a mile or so, then yep, you are more than likely heading in the right direction. Parking is minimal and you just kinda squeeze your car wherever you can off the main path. The sandy part of the beach itself is very minimal, our 3 year old enjoyed swimming as there were no waves splashing in her face. The water was murkier than other locations, which I'm not a fan of (I prefer to see what I'm about to step on... ). This was fine for what it was if you want a free beach!

Especially if you are part of the scientist community, whether world renowned or just a student. You might even run into people you know from the labs. Little kids love it and can build sand piles forever. I can't even begin to count how many times I have been here over a time span of 37 years. There's a lifeguard in summer season and a porta-potty. That's it, though I think an ice cream truck sometimes visits on great beach days.
