"This isn’t the greatest beach in the world, but it’s alright. The water is always quite chilly, since it’s the Pacific Ocean, and oftentimes the air is too, even in the summer. Now that I’m an old lady, it’s too cold for me to go swimming! Usually on the weekends it’s pretty crowded, with a lot of kids running around, since it’s right next to the boardwalk. It can get a little dirty, especially after a busy weekend, but it’s not too bad. This is an okay beach, but not a secluded tropical paradise by any stretch of the imagination!"
