August 8, 2009

Just less than an hour drive North on the 5 you’ll find Trestles and San Onofre beaches. For camping, I recommend San Mateo campground over San Onofre Bluffs. It’s nice that the bluffs are close to the beach, but the campsites there are close together and right next to the highway. San Mateo campground has [...]
