Panoramic view area with a glass enclosed building for when the weather is not so dry. Parking is easy and a family friendly place.

This is a popular park for both locals and visitors alike. Many of the tourists park in the lot (it has space for about 30 cars) and head down to the beach. The locals tend to sit in their cars, eating lunch, chatting on the phone or just watching the waves. I've done the latter many times, but this visit... More
