West Shoreline Access

Wildlife views include pelicans, various other birds, crabs, an eel-like fish, and tiny sand critters that burrow in the sand. We went Sunday, and there are lots of people including international tourists. Many folks have un-leashed dogs even though signs clearly command leashes or fines! Everyone appears "normal" meaning there are no apparent homeless, mentally handicapped, or heavy drug users around. I feel safe, and I am a woman nearing 60. The beach is clean. Sand is fine and easy to walk bare footed. No one is in swimsuits. It is July 29 and the temperature is 63° at 5:25pm. I had Googled Maverick Beach and it placed me here. Parking is free, but crowded. All in all, it is a lovely place for a ten-minute or hours long walk, or a beach picnic--as many people do.
