"Pick-Up Food Options: Bread Head, Interstellar, HiHo Sometimes you want to go to the beach without actually going to the beach. Maybe you don’t like seagulls, sand between your toes, or deciding between peeing in the ocean or trudging 300 yards to the nearest public bathroom. The next best thing is Palisades Park - the grassy walkway that stretches along Ocean Ave. from the Pier, until the road ends to the north. Skinny palm trees sway in the ocean breeze overhead, sweeping ocean views never get old, bathrooms are aplenty, and food options are endless. " - brant cox, arden shore
