Don’t let the fact that Bolsa Chica State Beach used to be known as “Tin Can Beach” back in the 1960s put you off the idea of visiting. Nowadays it’s famous for a whole range of outdoor pursuits that don’t involve cans of any kind, and visitors can enjoy surfing the perfect barrels that the waves in the area provide.
If you prefer gentler pursuits then fishing is a popular pastime at this beach as is bird watching. There are picnic areas available if you fancy a bite to eat, and you can work off your lunch by walking along a trail that skirts the beach for over eight miles.
