Overview
Clean sand and shady palm trees make this one of the city's most popular beaches-but it's the volleyball nets that attract huge crowds all year around, for tournaments and pick-up games. Runners and in-line skaters break at benches along the paved bike path, while college kids and families mingle in the picnic pavilions and around the skateboard and playground areas.
The Experience
Day or night,
East Beach is a great destination for a romantic stroll, but its popularity peaks each Sunday during the free arts and crafts show. From 10am to sundown, local vendors line the strand for a half-mile along
Cabrillo Boulevard, displaying work that runs the gamut from oil-painted flower canvases and big-eyed clown prints to eclectic plant holders and batik baby clothes. Hand-holding couples wander through the stands, weaving through random entertainers and families pedaling away on tandem bicycles. Vendors extend all the way to
Stearns Wharf, a restaurant- and gift shop-lined boardwalk offering excellent views of both the ocean and the city. |
