San Elijo State Beach
Escape to the San Diego shoreline for fun in the sun and loads of water activities.
Southern California beaches spark a mental image of carefree swimming, surfing and soaking up the sun. Only 3/4 mile north of the San Elijo Lagoon entrance channel, this park offers a beautiful, sandy, semi-private beach for campers. Enjoy some of the best surfing in the area, and explore the nearby reef for snorkeling and scuba diving.
The park also has some great swimming—a lifeguard can suggest a safe spot that's free from strong currents. Take a break from the water with a shoreline bike ride, fishing or paddling.
San Elijo State Beach Campground sites aren't exactly private, but waking up to gorgeous water views and easy beach access make it completely worth it. A camp store operates from March to December, providing a variety of amenities, including boogie boards and firewood.
