San
Onofre State Beach features 3.5-miles of sandy beaches with
six access trails cut into the bluff above. The campground is
along Old Highway 101 adjacent to the sandstone bluffs. The
beach is popular with swimmers and surfers. The park includes
a marshy area where San Mateo Creek meets the shoreline and
Trestles Beach, a well-known California surfing site. Whales,
dolphins and sea lions can be seen offshore from time to time.
The park’s coastal terrace is chaparral-covered.
San Onofre

campground and day use facility, and a Nature Trail that
starts at San Mateo Canyon and leads to San Mateo State
Preserve/ Trestles Beach.
Trestles
Beach is regarded as one of the premiere surf breaks in the
United States. Many would say the best in San Diego County. SurfLine
