This particular beach may not be suitable for those who prefer the bustling atmosphere of popular California beach destinations such as Venice Beach, Santa Monica, or Huntington Beach. However, for those seeking a more serene and natural experience, this hidden gem offers breathtaking views and an untouched coastline. Weekdays are recommended for optimal enjoyment.

The stunning Minuteman beach captivated me with its serene beauty and I was fortunate enough to discover a plethora of sand dollars during my visit. While the Western Snowey Plover season from March to September results in the closure of a significant portion of the beach, there is still ample space to relish the beach's charm. If you have access to the base, this is an absolute must-visit destination.

This beach is an incredible place to drive and camp right on the sand. The white sand dunes are truly impressive.
South Palisades beach

Liam Rendall
This place is perfect for taking a stroll. It offers multiple staircases leading down to a beautiful beach with an amazing view. However, there isn't much else to do here, as it appears to primarily serve as a spot for local residents to walk their dogs.
Summerland beach

Mark Evans
This charming park boasts a stunning view of the beach and even features a convenient doggy bath for furry companions. During our visit on a Wednesday afternoon, we noticed a fair amount of pups, mostly on their leashes as per the rules. However, there were a handful of playful pooches chasing after balls on the sand. We give this park a solid four-star rating, only deducting one star due to a faint oil scent in the air.
