Access: Easy access, though parking may be a problem in the summer months. Bring change for meters. Crowds: Crowd Factor: Can get crowded but usually some current when it is working so that helps Local Vibe: Mellow. Environment: Some runoff after heavy rains but pretty good typically Hazards: Strong currents and miscellaneous sea creatures. Season: Late summer, early fall, early spring
