7 blocks away is Bay View Park which is a guarded bay beach with a playground,picnic area gazebo,volleyball,basketball,pickleball,bocce ball,rentals & lessons for kayaks,SUPs,sailing/windsurfing on the side beach and Dog Park.This guarded bay beach for kids, families & water sports enthusiasts has public bathrooms with showers and changing area.If you are taking lessons of any water sports you do not need a badge, but if you stay the day or if family is watching you need badges. This bay beach is wonderful for younger kids to bring seine nets and catch-release some marine life. The bay at high tide may get to be 5 feet deep, at low tide the little ones can wade out to about 3 feet which is nice for a big area to explore and feel like they are in the “big” bay. You can bring rafts, noodles etc. for them to float around on, & don’t forget the buckets & sand toys. My kids loved seeing the blowfish, flounder, snails, hermits, needle-nose eels & crabs they caught. The playground is great.
