Why yacht rock fans go

It’s free, it’s a block from the sand, and the beer garden looks out at the Pacific.

Plan your visit

  • Use the free bike valet on Bacon Street or the free trolley from the Robb Field lots; street parking disappears.
  • The chili cook-off starts at 11 a.m., and tasting goes fast.
