Baby Beach

We love this place. Has a great protected sandy beach with fine sand, no rocks or pebbles. They have a clean bathroom next to the beach and a grassy area where several covered benches and barbecue facilities. Not far away is the Ocean Science Center where you can go inside and view the displays and fish tanks. And just beyond that is the actual peninsula with tide pools, breakwater, and a view out into the open Pacific Ocean. If you are adventurous, there are caves that are exposed during low tide past the tide pools. Back to the beach, there are lots of families enjoying the facilities and pick nicking on the grass or on the beach. Lots of kids playing and enjoying the sun. You will see lots of people walking the concrete paths running along the wharfs and down the beach. It is trul

GREAT for small kids! There are no waves so I had no fear of my little one getting thrown about or pulled in the deep water. The beach also had a safety line for swimmers not to pass and was at a shallow level. My 5 yr old could be at this safety line and still be above water. The fire boat also came and hosed everyone, it was great. I would get there early for parking though. I got there by 10 am and luckily got the last spot in the furthest parking area.

The beach has potential and is great for kids — the water is calm with no strong waves, making it safe for little ones to play. However, it’s really disappointing to see what looks like sewage being dumped into the water by nearby boats. The sand is dark and has an unpleasant sewage smell, which completely ruins the experience. This place could be beautiful if properly cleaned and regulated. I hope the authorities step in to fix it.

Loved this beach! I'm originally from the O.C but moved to the inland Empire 22 years ago and let me tell you, I miss the beaches out here. Very peaceful and the water was excellent 👌

There was alot of people here for early on a monday. We were on vacation kinda giggled don't people have jobs around these parts. Maybe they are here because the area is absolutely gorgeous and the water is clear. We also decided not to get out here because the "baby" beach was mainly full of adults with canopy and pop ups taking up the majority of the beach. I would definitely try to come again. I've been wanting to come here for a while but seeing the crowded tiny beach. I may have to try a different day. There was plenty of parking though. Looks like a nice area to hang with the kids if not so busy.
