Steps to the beach implies more than you might think. 

Of course it usually means that you are living close to the ocean edge. MLS listings often note that as a plug for the home in question. How far that is varies depending on the agent's perspective. Guess I tend to think of this as equating to 2-3 minutes walk at most. Not a 10 minute stroll. 

Distance is in the eyes of the beholder. So if this is important to you when you are going to purchase a home, be sure to do your due diligence and check. The actual steps to the beach may be further than you think.

  • There may be real steps to the beach. Sometimes quite significant steps. And somehow they are always tougher on the way up.  Interesting how that works. 

 

  • The steps may no longer exist due to erosion. 

 

  • The pathway may be very steep, even treacherous, as you find at the bluffs in La Jolla going to Black's Beach as one example 

 

  • You may simply be able to walk out on to the beach with few or no steps at all. Makes it easy, but increases the likelihood of erosion issues. 

 

  • And folks with disabilities or who need a walker, can, crutches or a wheelchair can sometimes get right on the beach with improved access with pathways and heavy mats (Moonlight Beach in Encinitas being a prime example).
