Hidden Beach County Park — Attraction in California

One of the last beaches left that is not over run by tourists and you can still have a bonfire and enjoy the serenity the ocean brings. The sand is nice and not full of debris and things that hurt your feet, it's nice and quiet and there's not so many people you may as well be sitting on someone's keep.... It's been years since I went to this beach, and it was exactly what I needed! It's recommend it, but honestly I hope it stays just the way it is for the locals.

The little sewage facility in the little creek stinks sometimes, but overall a little gem. Forget about parking here on a sunny weekend, there are only about 10 or so spots. Still, love it, we go several times a week usually by...

The name says it all Hidden Beach Park, its tucked away in a small community. You literally drive to the end of the road and there you are greeted by all kinds of beautiful nature. Green all around. There is handicap parking. A portable restroom And wash station as you enter the park. Picnic tables, swings and other jungle gym activities in the park. You have to walk along a path watch you step because as you approach the coastal sand it gets very steep. Your moments away from the crisp cool air, the cold waves and a fabulous day at...
