Pretty nice beach but not good for swimming in low tide

Posted by Hsleeny  from Irvine, Ca  on March 26, 2007

This beach has good facilities - including plenty of free parking space, showers, picnic table. however, there isn't enough rock-free sand for swimmers, especially during low tide. there's only a small patch of sand where little children can play. snorkling however is excellent as the beach is surrounded by reef and jetties.
