Left lane stop sign coming up. You'll have to watch for cars coming up behind you fast because the lane going forward has no stop sign and cars speed through what is near the end of HWY 35. Beware.

Ocean Beach!!
But wide enough. Dedicated bike lane is coming up.
Keep going forward. You'll follow parallel beach for a mile or so. You have 3 options. 1)Ride on Upper Great Hwy w/dedicated bike lane; you can see the beach but cars are riding w/you. 2)Ride on sidewalk; still see beach, but it's a bumpy ride w/pedestrians. 3)Get on sidewalk than take trail down to Lower Great Hwy which runs parallel to both; you won't see beach.
