If you want a quieter spot, head to the far left side of the beach. It’s less populated, so you can enjoy a more relaxed experience without all the hustle and bustle of the main area.

If you're planning to surf, try to rent a board instead of buying one. I rented from a local shop and got a great deal. Also, they throw in a quick surf lesson, which was super helpful.

Don't miss the sunset. I recommend sticking around until about 9 PM. The colors are amazing, and it’s less crowded then, plus the vibe is just perfect for a chill evening.

Check the surf forecast before you go! I found that the waves are best in the morning, usually around 9 AM. It's less crowded and perfect for catching some early morning waves.

If you're looking to rent surf gear, I recommend hitting up one of the local shops rather than the beach rental kiosks. You’ll find better prices and a wider selection!

Parking can be a pain, especially on weekends. Try to find street parking a bit further away from the beach. A short walk isn't bad and can save you from pricey parking fees.

I think renting a surfboard for the day is worth it; you can usually find good deals. I had a blast catching waves!

I suggest you try to arrive around 10 AM to nab a good parking spot. It gets super crowded after that!

i suggest hitting the beach around 10 am to snag a good spot and avoid the midday crowd. the vibe is super chill in the morning, plus you can catch some nice waves for surfing before it gets busy
