Camp Pendleton Marine Corps Base, CA

Travel Guide

(March 2019) Driving on I-5, spotted this USMC Osprey helicopter on the helipad, propellers turning. I pulled-off at a scenic turnout nearby. No sooner had I pointed my camera the helicopter began to lift-off! In the background is the Pacific Ocean shoreline.... and the closed (2013) San Onofre Nuclear power plant.

California beach dayz - a little rocky, but warm sand and surfing. Gotta love it August 2018
In San Onofre California they have camp grounds on the bluffs and great #hiking trails with the most beautiful views where the bluffs meat the ocean.

The location was great, walking distance to lots of restaurants and right on the beach. The front desk attendant was very thorough, patient and professional. She was the best part about the hotel!

The property is huge. All landscape is mature and well taken care of and beautiful. The grounds are kept spotless.
