WISCONSIN STREET BEACH

A great place for some alone time.

A beach that’s ruled by the tides.

Wisconsin Street Beach is open to all water activities, but if you want to play on the sand, you’ve got to make like a surfer and pay attention to the tide tables—at high tide, the beach disappears. The beach is located at Wisconsin Street and The Strand, which here is a one-way, southbound street running parallel to the beach. For access, look for the ramp just north of lifeguard Tower 7.

Parking​

Park on Pacific Street, or head to the small pay parking lot located directly behind Tower 7 on The Strand.
