Crescent Beach surf

Great beach for so many reasons. Long, flat, lots of sand dollars, quiet, calm surf, and frequent exceptional sunrises and sunsets. A good beach for kids, the beginning surf/paddle boarder or watching the 4th of July fireworks. Easy access along side highway 101 North and South with plenty of free parking. The north end of the beach is the most sheltered and blows offshore during north winds, so it’s a good place to go during springtime and between winter storm fronts. Getting out can be a problem. Best during high tide on SW swells.
