There are things to do at the water and along the beach. In addition the Progress of Century Homes along the shore is good to see as well as the Mt Baldy. With driving you can easily do all this within 2 hours. We hiked most of the trails and were able to do everything within 5 hours.
We plan to spend 4 hours in the park in June 2020.. We have already decided to do the 3 dunes challenge and bicycle for the rest of the time. Want to avoid crowds and beaches due to Covid-19. Please suggest: 1) ideal parking lot 2) paved biking trails. Thank you.
A:
As for the 3 dune challenge, it is not in the national park, but the state park. It took us 2+ hours on the 3DC.
