Decent Salt Water Escape

We camped here while attending a friends wedding at the old torpedo warehouse located in the park near the beach. Quite a scenic location for a wedding!

The day time activities are fun. You can hike the trails and do some general exploring. Lots of beach and military sights to see. Careful of poison oak if you are doing some hiking!

Our site was tiny and a bit swampy beyond the table and fire ring. The mosquitoes are pretty terrible here, at least in early summer. We got to break out our tent room for the first time, so that was neat, Also, no alcohol outside your site at anytime and no access to the beach after dusk. I had never encountered such a bummer at a state park before. We were apprehended and scolded like children for taking a walk with a can of beer to watch the sunset. Just doing their job, I know. But, I haven't been made to feel like that since middle school. A bit uncalled for.
