| Six miles of wide sandy beach are backed by an asphalt bike path that connects with the Santa Ana River Trail to the southeast. This bike path is far from the surf zone, but it crosses other paths that run a few hundred yards toward the shore. Some of those paths are partially covered in sand, but they are easy to roll over.
If you come at low tide, you’re likely to see many shorebirds feeding in the intertidal zone, especially in spring and autumn. If you have a good pair of binoculars you can identify various birds and observe details of their behavior. You can learn more about birds at the Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve across the highway.
There are many fire pits in the sand along this beach. We found one on pavement in front of the first set of blue spaces as you enter the parking lot. An RV campground, with water, electrical hookups, and a dump station, is at the south end of the beach. Four campsites are designated accessible.
Restrooms
Accessible restrooms are in the RV and picnic areas at the south end of the parking lot. The RV area has spacious single-user restrooms with grab bars, high toilets, and push-button sinks, as well as accessible showers (warm water) with seats.
