Main Beach Park
The main beach at the heart of the small town, with an iconic lifeguard tower, basketball courts, and a wooden boardwalk, right next to the shopping streets.
Main Beach is the town's public face. It sits where Pacific Coast Highway meets Forest Avenue, and it has a white lifeguard tower, beach volleyball and basketball courts, a wooden boardwalk, and grassy lawns. It is a lively spot for people-watching, swimming, and sunsets. Across the street lies the old town, full of galleries, ice cream shops, and restaurants, and you can stroll along Forest Avenue on the way. Entry is free and lifeguards are on duty. Parking is available in nearby parking structures and at metered spaces, but on summer weekends spots are hard to find.
