The special kid-friendly appeal of this beach, also known as Hendry’s Beach, goes beyond the picturesque setting. Besides the safe swimming, beginner surfing, and chance to cast a line, there are trails to explore and a Watershed Resource Center with educational programs that highlight the importance of protecting California’s beaches and shoreline.
After playing on the brilliantly sunny sand for a bit, take a break in the shady picnic area and playground. Mom and Dad can make a note (and maybe a date) to come back for a visit to Boathouse Restaurant for a Blood Orange Margarita or a Honeycomb Mojito, followed by ultra-fresh seafood.
