What a great little campground!…read more My daughter and I, who are Los Angeles natives, traveled from the state of New York to surprise my 93 year old grandmother. I packed all my motorcycle camping gear into a giant duffel bag and checked it on an airplane. The campground was great. The camp store wasn't open when we were there but that wasn't a problem. We drove to a grocery store in Thousand Oaks and got some food, firewood, and lighter fluid. We stayed 2 nights and it was wonderful. We can't wait to come back and bring the husbands!

I have been here a couple of times and it has been on weekdays so it has not been as crowded. Of course with summer here it's pretty much booked up all the time. During my stays the park rangers have always been excellent and the campground has been kept up well. I am always thankful that the bathrooms and showers have always been clean. This is a campground that I will continue to enjoy with my family.

The water is really clear here, and on a calm day it's perfect for wading or just sitting at the shoreline. Lots of surfers in the mornings, so it has that laid-back local vibe instead of the packed tourist energy you get at Santa Monica or Venice. My favorite thing is the view cliffs on one side, wide open ocean straight ahead, and those classic Malibu sunsets that look like they're filtered even when they're not. It can get windy, and the rocks make it less ideal for classic beach lounging, but if you're looking for a peaceful spot to relax, walk, or watch surfers, this is a solid choice.

Be prepared to descend lots of stairs to get to the beach (wear safe/comfy) shoes. There are incredibly beautiful, arch rocks, and small caves, running up the north side of the beach As beautiful it is as it is, watch out for some of the big waves that come in as you may step on some of the rocks. This is a popular beach for photo shoots and likely you will be amused by some of the "models" posing in various costumes.

Also the porta potty had no toilet paper. So not sure what the parking fees are upkeeping. Anyway, the beach itself is really pretty. The walk down is a little touch with stand on a steep slope so you have to be careful. But it's worth it for the views. It's a very romantic spot.

I decided to come here by myself on July 3rd. It was not nearly as crowded as Carpinteria City…read moreBeach that I just visited yesterday. The parking lot was full when I arrived at noon but I parked along San Nicholas Ave. It was not too far to walk to the beach entrance. Some things I liked about this beach was that it definitely was not crowded considering a lot of people are vacationing in the Ventura/Santa Barbara area in July and school is out. The farther away you move away from the restrooms and parking lot, the less and less people you will see on the beach. Parking in the parking lot is free but it's not very big so it's easy to see why it fills up quickly. The bathrooms are metal toilets and although there was seat covers there is no soap to wash your hands so you should bring hand sanitizer. There are 2 lifeguard towers but I only saw one active in the tower. The #2 lifeguard tower looked closed up. So you are better off sticking closer to the bathrooms for lifeguard safety. There were a lot of people surfing and boogie boarding here. At one point the lifeguard had to tells some boogie boarders to move down further and it looked like the section they were in was starting to look pretty rough. Dogs are not allowed between 9am-5pm but you will still see people walking their dogs on the beach. Overall it was a nice beach. I feel like there was definitely more driftwood here and more wood pieces in the sand that poke your feet but I did not encounter any tar on my feet at this beach which is a plus.

This beach is on-leash and has never been crowded. That makes it a good spot for our senior dog to walk a bit and then curl up by our beach blanket for bird watching and napping under the sea breeze. The humans like the fact that it is usually clean, parking is very easy and inexpensive in the two large lots, and the restrooms are usually clean enough (bring hand sanitzer, though - the soap and paper towels often run out). There's also paths for people riding bikes and jogging, and a large park that is often lively with picnics, barbeques, volleyball games, and people working out. As people in our early 40s, it is refreshingly unpretentious and un-scene-y, too. Most people are friendly and there are a lot of families. One tip: The water here can be rough with rip currents, and there is no life guard present.

Not sure if they were short-staffed, but we were utterly disappointed with the experience. For the price point, we expected elevated service for a party of 10 with a mandatory 20% gratuity. I'm not going to blame the servers, as I feel like the service is a reflection of management and how they train and execute the experience for customers. Management, please make sure the glasses are full and that when serving dishes, we have the proper utensils. Now the food , I loved my dish, but my husband and sister did not like theirs.
