Windansea Beach
Description:
The rocky shore of Windansea Beach (6800 Neptune Place) is perhaps best known for its beautiful scenery and surf
breaks created by underwater reefs.  Sandstone rocks act as partitions along the beach offering a secluded atmosphere for sunbathing. Much of the beach at
Windansea experiences shorebreak, a condition on steep beaches which results in hard breaking surf right at the shoreline. Swimmers should enter and exit the
water carefully to prevent spinal injuries.
Lifeguard Protection:
Lifeguards are normally staffed at this beach on weekends in springtime, daily in summer, and on weekends in September. The hours are generally from 9:00
a.m. to dusk. Check with lifeguards for specific staff hours.
Water Activity Zones:
This beach has separate water areas reserved by ordinance for swimming and surfing.
Surfing:
Surfing can be excellent at Windansea, but the popular surf breaks are very concentrated and can become quite crowded. Novice surfers may wish to consider La
Jolla Shores instead.
Scuba:
This is not a good beach for scuba diving, due primarily to the shorebreak.
Restrooms and Showers:
There are no public restrooms or showers at this beach or anywhere in the vicinity.
Disabled Accessibility:
This is a natural beach with numerous sandstone cliff formations. Therefore, the beach is not accessible to wheelchairs. The adjacent sidewalk offers
excellent views of the beach.
