About the Point Sal State Beach
Point Sal State Beach is a stunning park and tourist attraction located in Guadalupe, California. Spanning approximately 80 acres with over 1 1/2 miles of ocean frontage, this park offers breathtaking views of the coastline, beach, and rugged mountain slopes. Visitors can enjoy activities such as fishing, beach combing, hiking, nature study, photography, picnicking, and sunbathing.
Although the park does not have picnic tables, toilets, or other recreational facilities, it is a great spot for outdoor enthusiasts to explore and appreciate the coastal sage and chaparral communities. Giant coreopsis dominates the wildflower displays in the spring, adding to the natural beauty of the area.
It is important to note that swimming is not recommended at Point Sal State Beach due to dangerous rip currents and occasional shark sightings. Additionally, camping is not allowed in the park, and visitors found camping may face citations or eviction by Park Rangers.
Access to the park is available via Brown Road, with no civilian access through Vandenberg Space Force Base. Motor vehicle access, bicycle access, and camping are not permitted, and visitors must ensure they return to the trailhead on Brown Road by sunset. Vandenberg Space Force Base officials may close or limit access to the beach at any time for public safety or base security reasons.
Overall, Point Sal State Beach offers a unique and scenic experience for those looking to explore the natural beauty of the California coast.

Reviews of Point Sal State Beach
"Incredible, wild, and nearly no people. Only accessible via Brown Rd outside of Guadalupe — don’t try going thru the base. So incredible — about a 3 mile hike until you hit vistas. Such a wild portion of the coast — a hidden gem for sure, breathtaking. I recommend short-cutting — once you hit the trail, about 80 steps in, cross the fence and shortcut up the hill. Then, once the trail starts to plunge towards the ocean, hang a right and walk on Pt Sal Ridge. So spectacular."
"Very foggy and windy in the mornings sometimes. It's better on a sunny day to enjoy the views. The fog can be so heavy that your hair will start to get very dense with water dropplets that you will end up like if you took a shower. 10 mile out and back. There are 2 long routes you can take once you get to the top. Both are hilly and will drain you if you don't bring food and water."
"10 mile round trip hike to the beach with lots of climbing. Definitely bring lots of water and only attempt if you're fit enough to be out for 4-6 hours. The beach is pristine and one of the best kept secrets around."
"Point Sal has been my favorite hike for years. After years of drought and seen it completely brown and dry. It is back to its glory. I haven't seen so much green and so many different flowers in all the years I have visited as I saw this past weekend."
