Rather than a boardwalk along the beach front like Mission Beach there are sidewalks, but bike paths and picnic tables are still plentiful. The Municipal Pier is located on the south end of the beach. The pier is open to the public for walking and fishing, the pier also has an excellent restaurant with a great views. On the south end of the beach by the pier you will find more surfers and transients, and sunbathers and swimmers toward the northern areas. Fire rings and food vendors are plentiful along the entire beach, so you'll never freeze or go hungry.
Parking is hard to find on a sunny day, so be prepared to arrive early.
