Are there any places in San Diego to do at-large tent camping on a beach?




AppleCard!


I am going on a road trip this summer and San Diego is one of my destinations. I'd like to spend a night tent camping on or next to the beach, but not at a campground really, especially since reservations are hard to come by last minute. I'm looking for a place where I can just pick any spot on the beach and set up my tent.


Answer
When I was in high school my buddies and I would camp out at Black's Beach so that we can surf really early the next day. Although, we wouldn't set up any tents, build any bon fires, or drink any beers in hopes that we wouldn't get caught. See... We weren't so sure if this was actually legal to be there overnight. But we did it anyway. Also, please be advised that Black's Beach has a reputation for being a nude beach. Not like that's what my buddies and I did! Heck we just wanted to surf! But, it did give us a tad bit of security in hoping the authorities would turn a blind eye to that beach. Seeing that being nude in public is essentially illegal as well! Anyway, you will need to hike some to get to the beach. I would say find street (public) parking up near Torrey Pines Gliderport and look for the trail down to the beach.

OR just get a reservation at the San Onofre State Beach. I recommend a weekday as your best bet. Then you don't have to worry about nudist, if your car is safe overnight, or the police.

Either way...Have fun.

Tent Camping On A NE US Beach?

Looking for a shaded ocean beach location to tent camp this summer. Must be in Northeastern US, within a day's drive of the Baltimore MD area. Must be shaded and preferably a quiet and secluded location. Can be public or privately owned. Not looking for a "tourist attraction" type beach, more of a laid back and quiet location.


Answer
Well, it may be a little bit of a longer drive than you are looking for (look it up on a map and find out), but you should try Okracoke Island at the Outer Banks. It is reachable by a ferry from hatteras island or from Swan Quarter, NC. Once you are on the small island, there are two campgrounds, one shaded in the village, and one with minimal shade right on the beach just over the sand dunes. It is a quiet beach, and because it is so undeveloped, the Travel channel has rated it as the second most beautiful beach in America on more than one occasion.
