About This Beach
Jalama Beach County Park offers a remote beach experience at the end of a 14-mile winding road through ranchland and oak-studded hills. This isolation has preserved the natural beauty and uncrowded atmosphere of the beach, making it a favorite for those seeking to escape more developed coastal areas. The beach features consistent winds that attract windsurfers and kiteboarders, while surfers find challenging breaks offshore. A campground with 107 sites accommodates tents and RVs with stunning oceanfront locations, though advance reservations are essential due to popularity. The on-site Jalama Beach Store and Grill is famous for its “Jalama Burger,” considered a must-try by visitors. The beach’s western exposure provides spectacular sunset views, and the area’s natural setting offers excellent wildlife viewing opportunities.
