Head left or east on ocean towards the Belmont Pier ( around 2 miles) .....best beach is in that direction... you have a lot of great sand water front out in front right here and the strand and walkways will take you in both directions on foot or bikes which is terrific! ....Seal beach a few minutes down the coast is also terrific and of course my favorite is Laguna Beach. if you drive down that way you will really enjoy that immensely. Take PCH from 2nd street all they way down and you will see all the beaches of Seal, Huntington, Newport and finally the amazing Laguna Beach.
