Sunset State Beach Campground is a chill spot nestled under the pines with killer views of Monterey Bay. It's a year-round favorite for camping, picnicking on the beach, and soaking up those coastal vibes. Just watch out for rip currents and frigid waters if you're hitting the surf – it's not for the faint of heart! And unfortunately there is no alcohol or dogs allowed on the beach, but feel free to bring your furry friend to the campground as long as they're on a leash. Just kick back, relax, and enjoy the laid-back beach life at Sunset State Beach Campground.
