Endroit sécuritaire mais bruyant. Beaucoup de vas et vient et de monde sur le party. Ok pour une nuit si pas d’autre choix

One of the few spots you are allowed to stop overnight in the concrete jungle without paying "resort" fees to park your car 🚗. $130 for 4x nights.

As described. Not the most quiet spot but directly at the beach and about 30$ a night. Outdoor showers and bathroom. Stayed 3 nights with no issues, see picture for lot rules

We have a 38ft rig and we also drive a vehicle. To accommodate a rig this long and a vehicle we needed to pay for 3 spots over 5 nights. Which came to $450. I’m not thrilled with that price but it’s as close to the beach as you can get here in socal so it’s kind of worth it. If you have a big rig just know that you’ll have to pay for two spots.

Great spot for overnight camp with van. Recommend arriving from 8pm as it’s cheaper. 8pm-8am = $20. Pay at machines. Wardens do go around in AM to check. Well lit public restrooms. Stayed on a Saturday night, was busy with locals at the beach but that didn’t bother us. Was very safe. Good location. Note- there are a lot of loud sea lions which make noises all through the night- this also didn’t bother us! Would recommend this spot.

We stayed tor 1 night. Pretty beach and harbor within a stones throw of where you park. Some highway noise, and lots of parking lot traffic as folks make their way to see the sunrise/sunset, surf, and enjoy other activities. The vibe is relaxed with just a bit of lock-your-door creepiness, if that makes any sense at all.

The local parking enforcement are borderline tyrannical. An agent was out taking pictures of parked RV’s and checking for proper overnight parking passes, and was about to give us a ticket for not reading and completely understanding the multitude of rules that are spread across several weathered signs. The dude seemed genuinely irked at our polite ignorance. Anyway we threw more $$ at the problem (in the form of basically paying a second time) and he calmed down.

I imagine that sort of authoritative badge-swinging is important when it’s busy here, and everyone and their mother have come here for a summer weekend. But it was cold and rainy and there was almost no one here. Calm yourself, fella.

Anyway it’s pretty, but I for one didn’t feel all that welcome. I was happy to leave.

Very good spot for kids and surfers
Parking lot between a nice beach and a nice harbor with sea lions waiting for fisherman's.
We slept two nights. Feel Very safe. Quiet but not on Saturday night.
20 for one night, 30 for one night and day etc...
If you arrive at the end of the day wait. For 8pm to Pay will be cheaper

Worked fine to stay. Paid $35 for the night. Don’t park by the bathrooms. Lots of noise. Had to call the cops for a noise issue. But other than that was a quiet night. Felt pretty safe.

Paid overnight parking with restrooms on the beach at the harbor. There was a drunken fight, I called 911 but were too late. They had drove off. Park near the entrance. or the seals may keep you awake. They bark all night.

Drive all the way down to the end of the street, past the boat trailer parking and you will find a parking lot where you can stay overnight with the ocean on one side of you and a harbor on the other side. There are lighted public restrooms. $20 for 1 night, $30 fo one night and full day, $50 for two nights.
