Location
editSan Elijo State Beach is near San Diego, by San Elijo Lagoon, adjacent to the Cardiff State Beach.[2]
San Elijo State Beach offers swimming, surfing, boogie-boarding, skim-boarding, showers, picnicking, and camping. Campsite reservations are made through Reserve America, and sites book up to 6 months in advance. The narrow, bluff-backed stretch of sand has a nearby reef that is popular with snorkelers and divers. Also, at low tide, there is a tide pool that many walk to in order to see the sea life.[2]
The campsite is great for family and friends. It is located on a bluff right above the beach. It is perfect for photographers to get that perfect shot of a sunset. Jellyfish are frequent in the area; many see them either during the day or at low tide.
