Sunset Beach at the end of Sunset Boulevard offers beautiful views, a nice beach and a glimpse of whatever is left of the Concrete Ship Atlantus. Photo ops abound. The souvenir shops offer local mementos, as well as, snacks and drinks if you need them. Ample parking available.

Went here with my boyfriend in the morning to see the shipwreck. This beach is known for their seaglass. We walked around the beach a little bit.
