About This Beach
San Onofre State Beach is a renowned surfing spot in Southern California, known for its world-class waves, particularly suited for longboarding. The beach is characterized by rocky shores, steep access trails, and a mix of crowded and less crowded areas depending on the time of day. While it offers stunning views and a relaxed atmosphere for surfers, its challenging access and lack of extensive amenities make it less suitable for families with young children or those seeking fully-accessible facilities.
