About Windansea Beach
This is a small and narrow beach that has a rocky landscape where jutting rocks create powerful waves. It is named after the 1909 oceanfront Strand Hotel that was renamed "Windansea" Hotel in 1919. The main peak at Windansea is a reef break with surf that breaks at the shoreline. iIt’s not a great swimming area. That said, this is a picturesque beach with sandstone points sticking out into the surf at both ends.Address : Windansea Beach, San Diego, CA 92037, USA
