Your comments

✎ Grew up on the cliffs above Moonlight. the only thing I miss about living in California is this beach. Summer was always refreshing water temps, chance of rips now and then but good swimmers know to parallel the beach till you get out of the current. A bit touristy in summer too, but north or south slightly is always good. Can't wait to go back next September with my kids to show them where Dad grew up!
