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.

It was a late check-in and early departure. So I didn’t get to see much of the property in the daylight. The check-in was fine, quick and easy The room was clean, comfortable and very spacious, although I felt the furnishings were very dated

It good but not great. The door has really big gaps n the shutters really don't block out night lights. Rooms are dated n have a musty smell. It was ok for the price.
