Esplanade Beach Overlook Trail

Beautiful sunset spot, whales visible to right and left.

I'm a local and have been coming here since I was like 12. There use to be a lot more beach. But its still BEAUTIFUL. I love to sit and whale watch or fish off the beach, make sand castles, just enjoy the sunsets. They are currently working to improve different areas along the way. Hope they finish soon.

From late spring to fall, this is an awesome spot for whale watching!! Also offers great views of Mussel Rock and Sharp Park pier.

We walked from the Safeway Shopping Center down to Mussel Rock seashore. The way is part established overlook path, residential sidewalks, parking lot dead ends and beach bluff walking.
The grandeur of the Pacific, salt air and the park itself is all spectacular. Yes you can walk down to the water. Fun to watch the hang gliders.
Noticed lots of camper vans parked legally all over the place. This place is golden throughout many parts of the day and at sunset is the place to be.
The park gets steep in parts.

It is a one beautiful place. Quiet. Yet, plenty of restaurants and coffee shops. It is windy there but worth visiting. Love the place.
