RV parking over night along PCH?

Hello my name is Edwin, and I wanted to know if it's ok to park your rv Along Pch? I have seen videos of Rvs parking along pch and setting their awnings and using the beach. I'm not sure if this is legal, and could not find any info. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
  • Pacific Coast Highway runs on and off from San Diego to Ventura, over 100 miles, and Rincon is not part of "PCH" nor named that.
    Are there places to park and deploy the awning on PCH? Yes, but finding a spot on PCH during the summer is almost as hard as getting into Rincon. It's the beach in California.. Good luck

    (edit iphone spelling)
  • I'd be willing to bet most of those pictures that you see are either the earlier reference Rincon Park spots or staged events with proper permits and road closure to ensure safety. From what I remember of the PCH, there are pull-offs where you can make lunch and take in the amazing views. I doubt you could set up camp though.

    I'm a little envious that you are going to make that drive. It is truly a gorgeous and wonderful drive. Lots of amazing bridges, spectacular views and wonderful places for side trips. I hope you enjoy your trip. That is on our "retirement trip" list!!!

    Rincon Parkway is the only one I know of, it's up by Ventura. I've lived in Calif for over 50 years, and while there might be others, that's the only one I know of.

    Where, exactly?
  • Not sure myself but I'd suggest you street view Google it and you should be able to see any street sifgns preventing it if they're there. You could also call the local police departments Traffic Division and ask.
