bikendan may have lived in CA for 55 years but he is not correct about Pismo being the ONLY place to camp on the sand. There are 5 in Ventura County, Emma Wood State Beach, no facilities whatsoever, no bathrooms, hookups but right on the water. It can handle big rigs if you can back it up. Also, there is Rincon, a Ventura County park that's right on the water but can't handle bigger rigs. The sites are a certain size and you can't go past the lines. There are 2 other Ventura County parks right on the water Hobson and can't remember the other name. Google Ventura County parks and call them. They are small parks, no big rigs, have some partial hookups. There's also Thornhill Broome state beach, right on the water, none of these have any hookups. I think Thornhill has a bathroom and may be in north Los Angeles county.
Well, I have surfed at all those other places you mentioned. In fact, I lived in Ventura County for 17 years and know them quite well.
Apparently you didn't understand what the OP is asking.
All the ones you mentioned are NEXT to the sand, not on it.
And there is no Ventura County park called Rincon. Rincon is a famous surf spot, not a park.
There is Faria and Hobson campgrounds in the Ventura County park system. They both are right above the beach but you aren't on the sand like you can at Pismo.
