Jalama Beach County Park

Reviewed By chrisk450 - Palm Springs, United States

I had heard of this beach for years, and finally found a break in the rain on a recent trip to make the 14-mile drive off Highway 101 to get there. The 14-mile drive through the hills to get there is a trip in itself -- winding past farms and cattle ranches, over creeks and through beautiful groves of oak and sycamore. Once the dramatic, eroded coastline appears, it is only a slight drive down to the well-kept county beach park, with its campground, tiny store and burger stand. The beach itself is strewn with mighty rocks and even a shipwreck -- it hardly seems like the most hospitable swimming place (although it likely looks and feels different in the warmth of summer). The sweeping coastline, however, with its high cliffs and great rocks has a pristine, almost primeval feeling that is hypnotic -- walking along the beach, you can easily imagine yourself back in the days of the Chumash, when only native peoples and sea lions knew this place. A special place.

Jalama Beach

Reviewed By Jmom2many - Lompoc, United States

Jalama is a hidden gem. Well known by surfers near and far. Not too mention the famous Jalama Burgers at the store/restaurant. At low tides the tide pools are amazing and you can walk for a couple of miles either north or south. Camping is awesome when you can get a spot. Reservations are required for most of the camping and you must reserve 6 months in advance.

I never get bored playing this golf course. No two holes are alike. It is best if you bring your A game.

Surf Beach

Reviewed By Scatpackmomma - Lompoc, United States

Beautiful stretch at the elbow of California. At low tide, walk about a mile south of the train station where you can find a large area filled with sand dollars. Drop by the Lompoc Museum and take in a little history about Surf Beach. Sibyl Marston was a wooden schooner cargo ship that sank in Jan 1909. The remains are still there for all to see
