The beach can have big waves and I noticed a pretty sizable drop-off where it gets deep very fast. Conditions change throughout the year and based on the weather and tides. I always talk to the lifeguards before I take a dip at a new beach, they always seem happy to give me pointers...
I love the beach, I love Balboa and CDM. Walter Quigley quigleyontop@gmail.com Thanks so much - nice surprise to see the ferry!! Ricki Jim, glad to see that you are still on the job. You got the ferry cam back. How's the 'Downtown Balboa Village Walking Tour' coming along?
