Stroller friendly
Tiny oceanfront park on El Mar Drive just east of Town Hall: shade, benches, Adirondack chairs, and a shower, with the sand right in front. A quiet sit-and-snack park — there is no playground here.
Why kids love it
Shade and a rinse-off shower steps from the sand make it the easy base for a beach morning. For a playground, walk two blocks to Friedt Family Park.
