One of my favorite beaches in California. Great for all day in the sun and sand. Beautiful water, interesting tar pits. Fun to walk north to south during low tide and see all of the beautiful wildlife. Great for surfers too!

The Good: Beautiful location. Water and electric hookup. The bad: as attractive as a Walmart parking lot. Can’t find the RV dump site Addendum: we did find the dump site and we’re able to move to a beautiful site at the edge of the water. Sites vary a lot in cost and attractiveness

For tent camping and RV's it is very convenient. But like many campgrounds it all depends on your neighbors. It's great if you get good neighbors but can be unpleasant with obnoxious ones.

Year round weather is often great. Spring, summer and fall.. winter are more than brisk.

It's true it is the safest Beach. They've recently added a new wooden boardwalk I can't tell you how much I appreciate a good boardwalk being from Jersey 🤩 Seriously though it's very well constructed there's a campsite right off of Linden and you access this beach off of Linden again, Currently talking to reinforce his mask wearing and that's great I mean why not keep your germs to yourself, Restroom alert super clean lots of them open to the public restaurants and smart & final right on Linden gas stations too this area is a good stop over if you're doing big drives up the coast or down the coast. The beach is quiet extremely beautiful extremely clean ☀️☀️💪💪💪
