    Very cool because it's in a converted lighthouse.

    Very cool because it's in a converted lighthouse. You can watch young people jump off bluffs into the ocean and the talented surfers surf right next to the bluffs. Fun and exciting to watch. Cool surfing history in the Museum. Free parking.
