Notes

Sunset State Beach has a lovely campground on the bluffs, a driving access down to picnic tables and parking, and a northern access ramp with parking. It's a lovely spot to camp and spend a few days exploring the beach and nearby parks. Dune restoration has closed some trails, while others remain open.
