Our City Expert's Tips


You'll enjoy terrific views of the coast and of Catalina Island. It's a great place for a picnic, but you'll need to bring everything with you since there's no snack bar or any other infrastructure aside from restrooms. Barbecues and fires are not allowed.

Sports Enthusiast
This shoreline park consists of two rocky beaches with tide pools. The water quality is excellent, but keep in mind that there are rocks in the water. It's a great place to scuba dive and surf, though.
