While it was a little disconcerting to see how much change had happened since the last time that we visited Paradise Cove -- I do believe that the changes worked in our favor, especially with the littles in tow.
While the lounge rentals were pricey (I'll include the link below for reservations and pricing) I do believe that Gracie and Grandad approved! We did need the shade for the grandchildren, and though we did buy a beach tent, it would have been much more of a hassle -- the lounges and umbrellas were ready to go -- PLUS they brought our food to us from the Beach Cafe.
We definitely splurged -- but we hadn't been to the beach in forever, so I think if you amortize the expense over the many years that we didn't visit, we got a good deal! Now I want to take Julia and Dan when they come to visit us in August!
