This picture is the beach off brook street.
A few tips:
- Bring quarters for parking, meter parking is usually closer and cheaper than lot parking
- Drop everyone off at the beach with all the stuff then troll for parking by yourself
- Staying in town is not necessary, you can save $400 a night by staying someplace 15 minutes away
- If you want to stay in the water for a while, you'll need probably want a wet shirt
- The water was surprisingly clear, visibility was good
- Getting out on the water by kayak or SUP is worth it
- Lots of great places to eat within walking distance (unlike say some parts of Huntington Beach)
- High tide goes quite a bit up the beach, so if you plan to stay for a while, park your stuff high up
