It kind of looks like a bunch of homeless people squating at the beaches but if you go down to the beach you will see most of these people are camping and fishing with their families. The shore fishing in this strech is fantastic. You will find guys with multiple $600.00 rod set ups and nice trucks hanging out with family and friends just having a good time. One of the families we met told me that on monday morning you will be able to tell the homeless and the crack heads from the rest of them. The homeless are not that many and most have jobs and dont stay homeless forever. The people abusing drugs get run out of the parks and have to keep moving on. They are usally camped outside the parks where the park ranger cant mess with them.
The fish get up to 140 pounds and the bait is in the tide pools. I broke two cheap rods fishing Yokohama Bay. The sunset here is great. Mostly locals out there at the end of the road.
