Surf Shack

Gotta love The Surfer's Journal- a beautifully published surf periodical that sells for roughly $15 at surf shops, has a section on their website called 'Surf Properties'. Instead of this being a place to find deals on real estate so the common man can live near the beach and surf 24/7, it instead lists properties of gargantuan proportions. Like this beauty around the corner from Swami's.


Over 6,000 square feet, 5 bedrooms, more than 5 baths, etc. etc. etc. Amazingly, it's been sitting vacant for 2 years- I doubt it has anything to do with the $12 million dollar price tag (that's about $60,000 a month in mortgage in case you're wondering). Amazing property- even though you don't have beach access (cliff is a little too steep for private stairs and the Coastal Commission won't let you build them anyway). Kind of silly actually you'd pay that much and have to walk all the way to Swami's or D. Street just to get some waves. May want to use that cash instead to buy an island in the Bahamas.
