South Carlsbad State Beach

I was talking to a guy yestrday about the cold snap we’ve been having, and he said,

“It’s been so cold lately that I had to put the top up on the convertible.”

  1. I’ve camped there several times. Its a great “Staycation” if you live int he area. Make sure you get a beach side spot otherwise you get a lot of road noise from the coast highway.

    One of the busier state parks you need to make reservations on the day you want to go 6 months in advance in the morning. It gets booked that quickly.

  3. There is something slightly humorous about having wifi access to the lifeguard towers.
