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.

We made a reservation 2 1/2 months in advance and requested a nice view from our room and we were given a room at the front of the hotel on the very noisy Main Street, which was very disappointing. Our bathroom was also quite dated with rust red stains between the tile and the tub which is a little ...
