Stone Steps Beach

“Every year on New Year’s Day, I join folks at the foot of Stone Steps to participate in a meditation maze created by a local artist.  They walk around in circles, I fly around in circles.  I meditate on how to make an impact on others I fly over across.”  Sandbag C. Gull

There’s very limited street parking along Neptune – which is a one way street heading north. Note: Leucadia’s beaches disappear during higher tides!
