Chris's place was great for what we needed. It was about a two block walk to the beach and had a lot of great food options around. I'd highly recommend Me's BBQ and 5 star poke (food truck) across from the entrance area. Parking is impossible to find around that area, however if you drive down south a bit there is free parking on Monsarrat Ave across the zoo. You can always find a spot there no matter the time if you go far enough down that round. The walk is only about 10-15min then. Overall great experience and the beach chairs were very nice to have.
