San Onofre State Beach

San Onofre Bluffs Campground is on the other side of the double domed nuclear power plant, along Old Highway 101. The parking lot seems to go on forever along the bluffs. Along the way are six trails through the bluffs and on down to the beach below. It isn't visible from the parking or camping spaces. Signs proclaim no nudity or alcohol allowed.
