Parks & Nature

It's an epic surf destination, and the site of several yearly pro surf contests. You may even run into Kelly Slater, or Kalohe Andino. It's a bit of a hike down to the beach over mostly paved trails.

It's a great place to spend the day with your family, is less crowded than other beaches, is staffed by lifeguards, and perfect for swimming, bodysurfing, or surfing. You can always find a picnic table here, and they are shaded. It is a bit of a hike from the parking lot, but very scenic, and worth the walk. There are restrooms right by the beach. The park is also a perfect place for bike riding, completely flat, an free of traffic.
