There is a decent beginner-friendly surf spot in winter on the north end of the beach. From there the beach--tide depending-stretches for miles to the south. Better yet for cyclists, there is a bike trail along the coastal bluffs that extends a couple of miles to the next State Beach, El Capitan.
BEACH. The beach is a short walk from the campsites, and some campsites are literally 10 feet from the beach. The beach itself is narrow, meaning that when high tide comes in, the beach is basically submerged. The beach is perfect for kids to play and swim and boogie board.
