Fun entry to the beach. Great for laying out on the grass, and for people -watching

Great playground for children of all abilities. There are swings and a range of other ship-themed activities as well as several picnic tables.

We did it during winter so it was a little chilly but nothing to scare sway from. The real shame was that it was super foggy the day we did it, so the views were obstructed. I would hesitate taking kids along here though, with the amount of homeless and marijuana smell.
