Sand Dune Park

The workout was nice and the short walk to the beach was amazing! It was not crowded and very peaceful.

Well it’s fun and painful for the fit, and just painful for the unfit! I mean it’s a big hill of soft sand. Maybe 1000 feet. That is a guess! I am old and did one up/down. The younger kids (eg 25-30) did 2-3 trips! You have to do it. Take your time. It’s a free excursion!

Great park for workouts on the hill and for kids to play at the playground!
It’s basically a multilevel park starting with the lower flat area with a parking lot, playground, picnic tables and restrooms.
There’s also a long open lawn, good for playing football or any field sports among friends or family. Not so much a place for organized team sports with spectators, as the field is narrow with homes and yards alongside it.
Above the lawn is a large hill with traversing pathways and lots of steps. It’s a nicely maintained natural shaded area, where some users enjoy a leisure walk and others prefer the workout. The north end of the hill is void of vegetation, as this is the sand dune, the namesake of the park!
Do the dune! My friends would say, as we used jog up and down the large sand dune! It was a great warmup before going down to the beach to surf!
Now access to the dune is limited because it’s become so popular! Furthermore, pandemic related closures regarding distancing and staffing, have the dune yet to return to the previous regular open access use. Online reservations may be needed for now.
Still the park remains one of the most natural and beautiful parks to go to in South Bay!

There is a sand playground, a large green space, bathrooms, a 100 foot high sand dune (good for workouts) with an accompanying parallel set of stairs, a 'nature' trail, and picnic tables and shared ground to have a picnic on. The playground is mediocre, and the sand makes it less enjoyable.
