Jalama Beach Park: Beach; Burger; Beer; Rinse. Repeat.

We’ve found the best beach camping spot in California (so far): Jalama Beach (say: Ha-Llama). It’s perfect right now, their off-season. We’re one of only a handful of people camping here. There’s no cell service, no WiFi, no neighboring town, no brewery. There’s not even a Pizza Port in walking distance. This place is remote. To the north is an air force base. To the south, basically nothing.

But here’s what they do have: a burger shack. Jalama Beach County Park is home to Jalama Beach Store and Grill and the Jalama Burger. Get one for $6. They’re not even over-priced (though they’re not as cheap as Larry Burgers). You can get a can of beer for $1.30. Cheeseburger in paradise: found.
