Camping at the beach

Let me clarify, at Pismo Beach you can camp on the beach itself but the path to the camping area can be affected by the tide. Many people including campers will drive into the water with their campers usually toy haulers into the water. If you search on youtube you'll find lots of video's like this.

Yes, Pismo has more than it's fare share of idiots.This is the only beach I can think of in California where you can drive down to the beach itself. It is a popular offroading area.
