This is the one of best sand dune beach in the central California! This beach belongs to USSF, meaning that it is Federal property, so it's under their juridiction. You will notice that the USSF controls the area, specially when they launch rockets! It opens at 08:00 untill 18:00 daily, and there are restrictions posted for protecting an endangered species called Snowy plover, from 1st March through 30th September every year. The water is cold, as saying goes the ocean is one season behind the inland, even though 5~6 miles inland is hot. And it is windy, so you need to bring extra layers.
