    The Concrete Ship is the Palo Alto, It was intended to be a restaurant & dance hall when It was grounded & the wharf built out to it. It started to fall apart, so now only the birds get to go aboard.

    Get there early for the best parking. We go out by the bathrooms and head left. Break is nice when the tide is low/mid. Gets big at high.

    Around twilight, move down the beach away from the people and you might see some incredible pelican dive-bomb action, fins poking out of the water (whales? porpoises?), and other creatures.

    Come for some serious cardio on 110-step stairs with ocean view. The stairs are lit at nite and there is always someone working out here. Grab your iPod and get a free workout.

    Get here early for street parking to avoid the $10 lot charge. Amazing beach!
