My family's #1 beach choice. Rookie to novice surfers. Plenty of parking spaces based on time you arrive and easy payment methods.

The cleanest and best beach. Especially for those who are handicapped or not able to walk great. The parking is close no 1 mile walk in the sand to water. It is a bit rocky so I would suggest water shoes. Plenty of restrooms, has showers, a few bonfire pits. The other beach goers are also so kind. Love that noone leaves trash behind.

First time camping and spending the night on the beach close to the ocean hearing the “POWERFUL” waves crashing onto the shores as it comes and goes back into the ocean is an experience that you can relive over and over. The sunset amazing. Watching the surfers out in the ocean waiting for that perfect wave is an amazing sight to see. At night as you stargazing and reconnect yourself with Father God, the Creator, it is a way to cleanse your spirit and soul.

We camped at Doheny Beach Campground. Very clean campground, bathrooms, and showers. What I love best is you are steps away from the water! I will definitely come back.

Beautiful and relaxing beach along the CA coast. We stayed in February so naturally it was chilly, however the trade off was no large crowds or lines. Plenty to do in the area and a nice mix of the beautiful views and large relaxing sandy beach.
