Editor's Notes
Windansea is one of California's most storied surf breaks, watched over by a palm-thatched surf shack built in 1947 and now a historic landmark. The freewheeling scene here inspired Tom Wolfe's 'The Pump House Gang.'

Pacific Ocean beach with rocks & sand popular for surfing & sunset-gazing.
