Ben F. • October 5, 2013Bring cash

John M. • August 1, 2016The loop trail to Inspiration Point is great for beginners: 2 miles, very even (no ankle twisting likely), easy grade, many places to stop and take a picture or rest on a clean bench, panoramic views

Jari R. • October 16, 2015So fun to just be here and seeing the ocean and hanging out with friends!

Andy R. • March 17, 2015Huge beach, beautiful people, do whatever you like ... laze on the sand, work out, skate, bike, walk, play beach sports, eat, go the the pier for entertainment all day and evening, just enjoy.

John L. • October 15, 2012It's one of the best places to have your weekend spent on. You'll never regret it. Especially watching the sunset in the shore while your feet is on the beach catching waves. Paradise.

Lori H. • May 10, 2014An awesome aerobic workout! The climb to the top is difficult but not impossible. And what a view!!!!
