Parking is available at several resort lots with validation options, but street parking fills fast so arrive before 9am. The water here is generally calm on the northern end near Black Rock, making it ideal for young swimmers and snorkelers. Rent snorkel gear from a nearby shop for around $10 to $15 per set to spot sea turtles and tropical fish just offshore at Black Rock. Pack your own shade tent since beach umbrellas from resort vendors can run $30 or more per day. The cliff diving ceremony at Black Rock at sunset is a free nightly show kids find magical.
