Geocache Description:

Cute little beach in the Pajaro Dunes area. Great place for a picnic and watching the sunset! Quick find cache in the sand. You can park on the road for free. Parking inside is $3.00 but the street is only a few feet away. Dogs on leash. Palm Beach has no Palm Trees and Pajaro is Spanish for bird. Theme is birds, fish or cars (see the story below). Tupperware 3" by 8" square. Not wheel chair friendly.

William Locke-Paddon, a San Francisco developer, named this beach and hoped it would by like Palm Beach in Florida. Once the beach ran for 3 miles north of Pajaro River and very was popular. It even had a race track and speedway between 1931-56 (hense the Hot Wheels car in the cache).

Now it is a few hundred yards of beach and 25 acres of eucalyptus trees. But it is still very nice during the day with a picnic area and showers.

Not a protected Sand Dune - so you can walk all over the area even though it looks like a giant sand dune.
