This beach is sandy with the occasional rock. It is also pretty clean. When you drive here, exit Route 80 at the University and get on West Frontage Road. Head south and stay on it until you reach the parking lot, the shore is a couple of minutes walk away and it is public access so there are no problems getting on it. There are no facilities here, but the main part of the city is only a few minutes’ drive away and has everything you’ll need. South Berkeley is a big student neighbourhood, and it is a pretty poor area financially but has a good choice of places to eat. Berkeley City centre is more upmarket and has a wider choice of hotels and entertainments.
