"Nice Long Beach line. Road goes along the coast with free day parking for a couple miles. I do note that although it is posted no night parking… quite a few rvs and campers along that stretch. Surfers like the spot. Good waves. Was a nice place to hang for the afternoon until sunset without many people. It’s not amazing. It beautifully quiet tho. At times I’m betting as I’m here in February 24."
"Awesome beach. Nice and clean. Cool place to hang out and fish :-)"
"Nice local beach. Easy parking during the week. A bit harder on the weekend. Great for families and kids. I feel safe there."
"Great spot to camp right on the ocean. I have driven by this place for several years and always wanted to stay we got site #77 and it backs right up to the sand and rocks. There are these great stone fire pits people have built and there's plenty of driftwood to use for kindling. The campground is very simple as you have to bring everything you need with you. Only RVs, trailers and self-contained vans are allowed. There is a train that runs close by the campground, but I usually slept through it. The highway is further up the hill, so the road noise wasn't bad. I loved falling asleep to the sound of waves. As people have noted, there are no services here like restrooms or showers. Great spot to watch the waves. It does get windy in the afternoon. There are plenty of great restaurants close by in Ventura to eat. The beach in front of the campground is Rocky, but you can walk just north or south to find some sand."
"This is a great beach and fairly secluded too. When the tide is out, is has great tide pools and rock pools for kids to play in…. We also saw dolphins and seals swimming just off the waves too. There is a bike track that runs along the beach too . We did not camp here but there are some facilities for campers too"
