Leo Carrillo State Beach

I love this beach. From watching the surfers to enjoying the rocky, rugged beauty of the coastline, this beach is a bit of a sanctuary not far from LA. Parking is never a problem on weekdays and usually ok on weekends. Highly recommended

This is a great place to explore sea creatures during low tide. The beach is clean and easily accessible from the pay parking area. Free parking is also sometimes available along the coast if you don't mind a walk. Best times to visit are during low tides before sunset so plan ahead and bring the kids!

Neat caves and tide pools to explore! Nice sandy beaches too. There is free parking on the shoulder of the highway but be sure not to leave any valuables in the car.

We camped here with a crew of about 16 adults and 15 children. We had a blast. All our campsites were right next to each other. Easy access to great beach and fun surf. There is a camp store just in case you forget anything or need more ice or beer. So fun we are definitely going to go back.

This place was amazing. We walked along the top of the seaside cliff for the length of the park. Couldn't find the sea caves. We finally realized we had to go down to the second beach and climb over tow Rock outcroppings to get to the cave. It was worth it. Beautiful.
