Nice beach - good for tanning and walking/jogging/running and other land activities but I wouldn't swim there. All fuel/oils/chemicals from the boats in the marina are in the water including the water from the rain water run-offs.
The playground is great for toddlers and young children. Lots of structures to climb and slides. Their are three types of swings. It would be nice if there were more of the individual ones. It was definitely designed to keep children active, safe and happy.
Great beach for children, there's so much to do. Water is not too clean but the play area makes up for it.
The beach itself is great for the little kids as it is flat and has shallow water and has a decent amount of parking so you aren't lugging beach chairs and pales and shovels to far from the car. My only real complaint and why I only rated it 3 stars is the beach is kind of dirty....not the sand or with trash but just because the water doesn't recycle and replenish easily so it's kind of scummy and green, not like the ocean. Even digging in the wet sand yielded not the cleanest of water. Despite that, my kids still enjoyed the day and they had bathrooms and food for sale and even a playground on the beach. Oh and there was always a lifeguard closely watching the kids in the water too.
Not quite like the rolling waves of the nearby ocean but this is a great little beach particularly for kids. Very safe and secure.
The beach was small, pretty, and quiet. Pleasant but not very exciting. The beach has a great playground for small children, for whom this would be a great choice. There is also a very pretty, wheelchair-accessible walkway around the beach.
Boats, beaches, sailing club, they got it all here. Nice surroundings to spend a sunny afternoon...We took a car and did some of the attractions here and both my wife and teenage daughter enjoyed to tour very much.
This is a stretch of sand inside the Marina with theme nice views and amenities. It's also one of the dirtiest beaches in California. Save yourself the ear infection & check out the beach report card.
Easily accessible from our hotel and great people watching! Liked the closeness to where we were staying so it was easy to reach. Went fairly early in the morning, so there were no crowds even on an 80+ degree day.
Mother's Beach was right behind the hotel we stayed at. It was a nice little Beach that is great for family's to hang out at. There is a public parking lot and BBQ grills available. While we were there quite a few Families were out grilling and having birthday parties and get together.
