Not bad during an early morning launch, but when you return it is usually jam packed with beach zombies.
Thats when you need the wheels because the sand is tore up and soft, and there are usually lots of vehicles on the beach.

While possibly just rumor, heard the "triangle" was put there at the request of BWE. Objective? So that those scoring a decent fish at LJ know where to stand so that the rest of us webcam-viewing landlubbers can drool on our keyboards ....

Nice! Make sure you hold up your catch in the triangle

Thanks. Good to know. I was planning on upgrading my yak cart with some fat wheels anyways.

Well that should be fun to watch sink into the sand during the first high tide.

is it bad etiquette when I dont pull in and leave on the right side of the triangle?

They have one of those in Costa Mesa. It is called 'triangle square'.

A triangle square?? Is that like one of them yellowtail tuna?

The triangle thing forces you to drive on the sand with your wheels turning Right - Not straight, so I can see people getting stuck when the sand becomes soft from the tires pushing.

Also there is a bit of a blind spot when you are going toward your right because the storm drain housing can conceal children up to 4 ft. tall.

Keep your eyes open when rounding this obstruction. Its too close to the storm drain housing.

Maybe the triangle is to slow some people down. I was watching the camera the other day and a vehicle went by so fast it was only in the field of view for a fraction of a second.
