Yea i agree. We went on the 27th of december through the 6th of jan. After new years everyone clears out with in a couple days, and it was really empty. It was also about 75-80 during the day (maybe hotter too), and this was in the winter. I wouldnt go out there in the summer, its murder. Like Banshe-man said, the dunes that are really close to the washes are really good for younger kids. Nothing too big, maybe 8-10 feet tops with lots of paths and trails.
