Pretty views, brand new, a couple of great restaurants as well. You can park you car for free and get the trolley to the pier and other crowded spots so its a great way to take a lot of "stuff" to the beach!

Parks & Nature
You can reach this by simply walking straight down the street towards the beach. That is a route with many stairs, but several resting spots with benches and great views at Sunset. I recommend starting there, it's less than a mile to the pier, great walk. You can return via the streets at the end of the path where the train is, and stop at Ellies for a sweet treat!
