Fodor's Expert Review Island Beach
Penneshaw
Beach
Known locally as Millionaires' Row for its fabulous real estate, Island Beach is the quintessential beach holiday location. Framed by dense bushland, the sandy beach is secluded, stretches almost as far as the eye can see, and provides very safe swimming. Walking along the coast toward American River yields plenty of bird-watching opportunities. Amenities: food and drink; parking. Best for: solitude; swimming; walking.
