Oh yes, the beach by tvdandy
This town has many facets, but tourists come here for the BEACH! This is the only place on the west coast which has an amusement park right on the beach boardwalk. This is a beach for everyone. Just follow the giant rollercoaster, and you will be at the main beach area. Funky, cheesy fun for sure! There are also many volleyball nets on the beach for tournaments or regular play.
