You are there to surf. From Swamis to the north and Cardiff Reef at the south end this is my favorite surf campground in Cali. Not a quiet serene spot, it is packed and near the busy highway and a train track. Non surfing families love it for the beach access but I would recommend other beach campgrounds for simple beach activities. My only complaint; some campers are messy and do not observe noise regulations. I would like to see better enforcement.
