It's a beach in CA, so right there, it's totally awesome!!!

Parking in the neighborhood is always an issue. I'm unusually lucky with parking though, but most people would plan to walk a pinch.

This is a deep beach with restrooms down the walkway. One could choose to be nearby or go really far away from them, depending on your preferences (or your bladder control, ha, ha). It's one of my favorite over all beaches; I have endless memories here! An actual reason that would matter to others is because there's a lot of sand before the breakline. The cliff backdrop can be helpful on windy days. (up coast from the restrooms, right from the walkway) It's conveniently located. Well I don't care to travel much on the 1, I find it unusually annoying traffic. Some years there were a lot of logs and driftwood to play with. (Twin lakes/ the harbor area gets more driftwood)

This has historically been THE 4th of July place to go!!! Unfortunately, there's been waves of law enforcement handling this excellently and horribly. The flood lights were a great safety idea the first year, when they were minimal and directed towards the restrooms. Now they're excessive and inappropriately light pollution. I hope the next flow, after this ebb, in handling a crucial patriotic holiday well, maintains the American values of citizens being able to party on the beach and display fireworks in honor of our...

This is a nice quiet little sleepy part of town. We made a friend here today during our family visit. He was overall kinda out of it. i thought about running, but then I realized I had my cocoa chanelle sandals on and would surely break a couple of toes and perhaps even my very happily attached neck. He studied our belongings some more and attempted to speak, which was anything if not just as confused as he. He did give us a spliff, eyes full of words but his mouth producing just two of them. Well, one word twice: "buttercup buttercup." WHAT DID IT MEAN? We spent most of today puzzling over its meaning. Was he obsessed with the golden oldies? Did his father call him that as a sickly sweet nickname when he was little? Was he just out of his gord? We never figured it out as we soon asked him to leave and to please remove his hand from my tiny guitar, which he fiddled with without asking. But we did discover why he gave it to us. It was absolutely abhorrent. Dreadful. Why does the universe readily answer the questions you never asked and scarcely those you do?? God is the ultimate comedian, and guess what. The joke is on you. And...
