Thanks, Theresa.
Actually, we just bought some vacation (RV'able) land about 1 mi from that viewing spot. We'll investigate next time we are down there.
But we haven't scoped much of the bay side yet. There is a beach quickly reachable from the parking lot of Leadbetter State Park, but the beach is very narrow there - maybe 30 feet - and bordered by mud flats on one side, forest on the other. Possible beaches north of there, seen on Google Earth, look like they are all day hikes.
The very best place to fly, in my opinion, is the west Bay Ave approach road to the beach. My favorite place. Drivable, wide open, not too crowded, restroom and cafe close by....as well as the BEST yarn/fiber shop I have ever been in LOL.
