Favorite spot for local camping when you just need to “get-away”. Easy. Always run into a friend . Right on the cliffs to the beach. Lots of kids on skateboards and bikes. Iconic places to eat right across the street. Good surf right in front. You may hear the train a few times, but it’s part of the ambiance of San Elijo! It’s just a fun camp out spot. Bring your good vibes, chill by a fire pit and thank God for the beautiful sunsets!
