With August right around the corner and a long list full of summer activities to squeeze in, it’s time to start scratching off all of those SoCal adventures that must be experienced before summer is over. Camping is always at the top of everyone’s bucket list, so why not combine two favorites into one: a night of camping AND a day at the beach?

Imagine setting up camp on a glorious stretch of beach where you can lounge in the sand and gaze out at the ocean that’s only a few steps away from you.
