1,000 Steps Beach
1,000 Steps Beach Review
Off South Coast Highway at 9th Street, 1,000 Steps Beach is a hard-to-find locals' spot with great waves. There aren't really 1,000 steps down (but when you hike back up, it'll certainly feel like it). Amenities: parking. Best for: sunset; surfing; swimming.
