Not too much parking by the beach. Park at Surfari over by the CVS, not next to the Starbucks or you will get towed...eventually.
Granada dead ends into the beach
Learned to surf here when I was a kid. It's a nice sandy bottom so go for it. Park by Surfari, Jim's always willing to let you.
Overview
Atmosphere
Lots of locs surf here. Not often in the winter as it's school and cold. Wear your wetsuit if you come anytime from Sept to Feb. People are really nice and tolerant of beginners.
