The high sand cliffs are beautiful backdrops to the amazing blue ocean. Colored umbrellas and bikinis scattered the beach. The California vibe is here! There is a small memorial idolizing local surfers who perished doing what they loved, surfing. A set of public restrooms is available. Parking and admission is free if you can find parking. Get there early, with the local surfers. No dogs allowed on the beach during peak beach hours.

The surf park sports restrooms and outdoor showers, and its own small parking lot for about several dozen vehicles. There's also a dedicated life guard station at this beach. The beach is beautiful. It is dedicated to surfers and wind surfing only, not swimmers, and I have heard my friends refer to it as "old man's" where older or beginner surfers surf. This beach gets pretty crowded on the weekend, especially during the summer months.

I wanted to take my dog on his first SUP or kayak adventure. I've been a few times before, but…read morenever with a dog. Due to my poor planning, we were on our way to the bay to visit a local competitor's business, when I realized that I needed a reservation. Cue my panic and frantic internet searches, I gave SUP California a call at 3:30pm on a Tuesday in the middle of July (peak season) and they were able to get us two SUP boards. I made payment over the phone and within 15 minutes of the call, they met us exactly where Google maps tells us to be. We signed some liability waivers on their phone and were on our way! They provided us with life jackets, but we had our own for the dog (not sure if they carry dog jackets, so please talk to them before assuming). Overall, it was a great experience, they gave us pointers on where to take off from, areas to explore, and landmarks to look for on our way back. We called them when we were done and within 10 minutes, they were back and collected the items. I had a wonderful time and will gladly recommend them!

Ben was personable, gave me tips on where to go based on the weather conditions, and had excellent customer service. I paid $50 with taxes for the epoxy paddle board (the foam board is $4 cheaper) and got to use it for up to 5hrs. When you're done, you just give them a call, and they meet you within 10-15min to pick up the equipment. I highly recommend SUP, and I would use them again!
