So after driving a dirt road over a hill you come to a wide expanse of beach.  Here there are campsites (including a few hike in ones) on the beach.  The sites are for the most part open and subject to the wind and sand.  But you are on the beach!

Trailers can not go over the road so you have vans and truck units and tents here. Since you are on the beach think wind - sand. Bring things that provide cover as you are in the open for the most part (see photos). But if you love the beach, this is for you.

You can easiliy access the Coastal Trail and get to Fern Canyon from here.  Also you can hike in from the visitor center for the hike in spots.  And if you are lucky the Elk will come down to visit.
