Question
Hey steve me again ,
Well since i cant go camping by the beach this weekend since every thing is booked on reserve America can you tell me what locations are available to go early enough find a good spot and put a tent up for the day i have to tents that fit about 6 ppl each. I have a group of about 10 and would like to be by the beach im willing to travel 2 to 3 hours out im in pomona can you please please help me any info will be truly appreciated.

Answer
I really like Carpinteria State Beach, but so do thousands of other people. Same thing with Doheney, down by Dana Point. About 5 years ago, we tried to take the fam down there for July 4. By the time we got everyone packed, loaded, and down to the beach, it was closed (full).

Huntington Beach is a great place, but that's going to be really crowded, due to parades, fireworks, and events.

Good luck!

Expertise

I was born and raised in Los Angeles. I`ve lived in the Valley, west side, east side, and South Bay, so I`m an expert on getting around town. I`m knowledgeable about all of the Southern California tourist attractions. I am also an expert on state beaches in Southern California, and have an expansive camping background. No relocation/moving questions, please.

Experience

I have lived in Southern California my entire life. I'm a "local", with expert knowledge of Southern California. I've done a lot of extensive traveling to NorCal, so I can provide answers about northern California as a visitor, and southern California as a local.

Education/Credentials
Not that this matters, but since it's required, I have a Bachelor's Degree. I also have a Master's Degree in the University of Life.
