Parking here is best found at the parking lots on the beach, as any other option would be too far of a walk. Much like Will Rogers beach, this beach is a nice spot to hang out.

While pacing ourself along the railroad wood passageway, the guide invites us to look into the inside of the kitchen, the living room and spiral stairs.
