Gary B. • April 21, 2013Great place to people watch without the crowds at the pier!

Sharon P. • September 18, 2013Great beach with jetties on each side. You can park on Seashore, Balboa Blvd., or one of the numbered streets, bring money or cc for parking meter.

Chantal B. • June 7, 2014On busy beach days, get dropped off or rent a bicycle, since parking is Nearly imposible :)

Bruce B. • September 24, 2011Surfs flat

Beach G. • July 19, 2014Although 15th St was nice when the kiddos were little it's not as good for romping around in the waves. So I head back to the streets of my youth. 30-32 is the best for boogie and body boarding.

Eric L. • September 13, 2021This beach is perfect! No crowds, clean and super wide. Plus.... it’s a nice little spot 😉
