San Elijo State Beach, State beach in San Diego County, United States
San Elijo State Beach extends for 1.5 miles along the Pacific Ocean with sandy shores bordered by high coastal bluffs.
The beach became a protected California state park in 1971 to preserve its natural coastal resources and public recreational access.
The beach serves as an important gathering place for surfers who practice their sport throughout the year in its consistent waves.
The campground offers 171 sites for tents and recreational vehicles, with reservations required up to six months before arrival.
Visitors can observe marine life in the natural tide pools that form at the northern section during low tide periods.
