Great mural by local high school students perfectly visualise what this beach is all about. And for a big audience as well: 

“Each year, about 7 million people pass through the tunnel to the beach.“

Maybe not so secret..

A California sunset, clear skies and the sound of the ocean running over the rocks makes Strand Beach a great stop.

Commanding views of the Salt Creek beach allowed me to eat my huevos rancheros and watch the dolphins surf alongside the short boarders.   I slept really well here, though full surf days help.

The door to my room didn’t close unless I locked the deadbolt, and I didn’t realize it until the next day. Without the key card, you were able to just push open the door. However, the room was very clean.
