I was born and raised in sunny Southern California and will never tire of the West Coast, although I spent several years living in Southeast Asia, about as far from California as you can get. Wherever I am in the world, I love straying from the beaten path, experiencing local life, and discovering hidden gems - camera in hand. The beach is my happy place and when I am not there (or writing), you will usually find me baking, watching movies, and cuddling my pugs. I have traveled around the country and around the world, and it never, ever gets old. Being able to combine my passion for travel and my love of writing is nothing short of a dream.
It is hard to believe that there are any pockets of Southern California, especially along the coast, that are not widely known and frequented by beach-goers. But I am happy to say that a few such places still exist, quiet bits of waterfront beauty where you can enjoy a little solitude even now. Take, for example, this little-known beach park in Lompoc, California.
Ocean Beach Park is a perfect place to unwind and soak in a little coastal beauty without a crowd. The playground, picnic area, and estuary observation area are open year-round, even when beach access is limited. Have you been to this tranquil beach park and estuary in Lompoc?
