Also known as Hope Ranch Private Beach · Hope Ranch sandbars.

- Left & right
- Reported difficulty
- Intermediate
- Bottom
- Sand with scattered reef

- Reported tide preference

A 1963 local account describes consistent afternoon-glassoff beachbreaks from Hope Ranch / More Mesa north toward Haskell’s and El Cap. Bottom change and moving sand make this a zone, not a permanent takeoff.
Before paddling out: Private gate, shorebreak, rips, narrow beach at tide, runoff and no public facilities.
Private residential access; no gate route shown Coarse private-beach zone; sandbars migrate
