There is a great view of the waterfront as you walk through the parking lot into the adjacent green space. In the green space you will find numerous benches that are a great place to sit and contemplate the world as the wave crash on the rocks in front of you. Many people that come here sit on these benches which are dedicated to a loved one and contemplate their loss.
