I think this was near the end of summer and it was comfortable but not really that warm hence not so many there, plus it also being a weekday evening was a factor.
I grew up fairly close to the ocean, used to bike to the beach most mornings and go for a run and swim training for Rugby, then for years I was in Missions no where near the Ocean thats part of why I choose to live here and have the long commute to be by the water
