Temescal Kanyon Parkı
15900 Pacific Coast HwyThe perfect beach day with kids:
- Get up early, arrive for breakfast with your toes in the sand at the cafe
- Kids play at the playground directly next to the cafe while you finish your coffee
- Head to the water to watch and play in the waves
- If you've packed a lunch, stay for several hours and eat on the beach
- When you've got about 30-45 mins left in your kids before they explode, head back to the Beach House to the splash pad, let them play and get the sand off
- Dry off, head to your car and back home... kids likely to doze off on the ride for a late afternoon nap
