Windansea Beach

The Windansea Beach, creatively named for its prominent features, is located in La Jolla and feature aquatic scenery and underwater reefs. There are sandstone rocks that create a partition along the beach that create a secluded area for those who want to sunbathe and relax on the sandy beach. Because of the underwater reefs and the steep beach area, the surf breaks hard at the shoreline. Visitors to the beach are cautioned to swim carefully because carelessness can lead to spinal injuries. The beach has a strong rip current, so refer to safety tips for swimming in this kind of surf before visiting the beach. Lifeguards are usually on duty at the beach during the spring and summer until dusk. Local surfers frequent the area, but the beach gets crowded and is usually best left to the more experienced surfing locals. The beach features no public restrooms or showers, so come prepared if you are planning to spend the day. There are no public restrooms close to the beach either. Beach regulations do not permit bonfires on the beach. Visitors can bring alcoholic beverages to enjoy during their time on the beach, up until 8 pm. Public parking at the beach is limited to 18 spaces, so plan to park on the residential streets on days when the beach is crowded.
