Santa Monica Ocean Park Surf Photo: 'ocean park waves' by Bobby

Ocean Park is a fun family beach and I highly recommend it. If you are a serious surfer you will not have the best time because most of the waves are closeouts and have no shapes. It is a great beginner spot and can be surfed until you are ready for something better. I would give this spot a 3/10 for surfers and a 9/10 for families looking to have a good day on the bach
