The sandy cliffs surely show how this beach got its name.
The low sandstone cliffs become more of a wall at Dunes Beach, limiting access to two big slides of sand on the north and south ends of the parking lot. This beach is particularly popular with families; kids leap from sand ledges, moms play catch with their sons, foot races ensue and general revelry abounds. Social trails cut across the cliffs above the action where a rip current warning reminds ocean goers to be wary. A quick walk on the sand or Coastside Trail offers easy access to Sweetwater or Venice Beach to the south or Roosevelt Beach to the north.
GO IF YOU WANT TO make new friends or learn some new beach games.
HEAD ELSEWHERE IF you don’t.
CREATURE COMFORTS toilets and trashcans are provided.
