"I had a lovely morning stroll along the coast today. As I made my way, I passed through the Palisades Park, which was well-maintained and had convenient beach access stairs. The trail was bustling with friendly people out for their morning exercise, making it a great spot for a workout. Additionally, there were plenty of bike rental options available along the trail, as well..."
