Confirmed from Peters Point Beachfront Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
This scenic sandy beach that allows fishing & vehicles with permits also offers shower facilities.

Awesome public park! Three covered pavilions with multiple picnic tables, multiple outdoor feet and body shower stations, restrooms, and ample parking. You have the option to park and walk to the beach or pay a nominal fee at the booth and drive onto the beach. Convenient spot and not too crowded.
Had a great time. Love being able to drive onto the beach and have bathrooms just a little walk away. Kids love it here!
Great place to walk the beach. Nice sized parking lot. Spots to rinse feet, shoes or shower off sand.
Amazing bike/ebike trail! Smooth great scenery and safe as crosswalks are frequent. Ride to beach for a swim!!!! Always awesome to bring the dogs on leash.
