Directions: If you are headed "north" on 101, exit Winchester Canyon and head straight onto Calle Real, turn left onto Cathedral Oaks over the freeway and a quick right onto Hollister Ave. Follow Hollister until you see a sign that says beach access and points you to a parking lot near the Bacara tennis courts. Follow the footpath down to the beach. More info.
Pros
There are bathrooms (although they might be demolished soon).
There are mostly calm waves.
It is generally not crowded though we have seen an increase this year.
There are showers (although they might be demolished soon).

There is a snack shop open from Memorial Day to Labor Day.
Cons
There is a walk to the beach from the parking lot.
This is out of the way for most people.
Parking is limited on a busy day. Parking and walking to the beach it is not easy to socially distance.
Sometimes access is tricky.
