Parking & access

The forum names Dillon Beach but gives no lot, private-access terms, carry, entry or foil lane. Confirm current access and shore conditions locally.

“A Progression Project forum San Francisco-area contributor reports better luck north at Dillon Beach while discussing smaller-day SUP FoilDrive and prone-foil learning. The wording supports broad first-hand foil use at Dillon Beach but does not separate each discipline's sessions or publish a takeoff.”
