A fabulous place to watch expert surfers. Huge waves and rocky shore. There are places in sand to sit during low tide. High tide and you're up on the rocks which is fine if you have a chair. High tide is the time to watch the surfers.
This is a good place to go to avoid the pandemonium and parking hassle of La Jolla Shores. The beach is more rocky & less sandy, which I find prettier, but there are still many places to lounge. It's definitely not a beginners surfing beach like the Shores, and the surfers here won't be afraid to tell you if you don't belong.
If you love to surf this is your place. Waves were not for the faint of heart, experienced surfers only. I took my boogie board down to Pacific Beach but loved to watch the sunset while checking out the action on the waves.
We enjoyed this beach so much. It is not a real big beach, but it has so much variety, in beach, rock, walking, surfers to watch, and ocean to enjoy.
This beach is quite lovely --- rocky, sandy, not that big, but windy and beautiful, especially at sunset. We stopped here because I wanted to see the surf hut that was built in 1946. It is a palm covered shack, not very big. It is considered a historical landmark now.Windansea Beach is named after an ocean front hotel that burned down sometime in the 1940's. It is a surfer-heavy beach and populated mostly by locals. Parking is street or lot, but the lot is quite small, maybe only 15 spots.I am glad I stopped and I do recommend a visit to see the surf hut.
The absolute best beach, for sunning, surfing, swimming...parking is a challenge but its worth a walk!
a lovely beach - clean water - nice family spot - people friendly - no dumping of rubbish - patrolled - good place to spend an afternoon with a good book
This beach is smaller than the cove, but has more actual beach space to lay out on. The sand is nice and smooth. It is a great place for a beach day in summer and a nice walk in winter. If you want to see super cute surfers go there. Great for families. I miss this beach.
Its a difficult break, and the rocks are kinda scary but if you know what you're doing, this place is freaking amazing.
It seemed much easier to find parking around this part of La Jolla. On this beach you will find the beach hut made for the Beach Boys, and there is almost always a crowd of experienced surfers. The waves are big here and the water is shallow, so it's not for novice surfers. The views are breathtaking and it's fun to watch people who know what they're doing out on the waves. It's worth a stop!
