Manresa State Beach, California

  This is our favorite camping spot along the central coast. Fall (Sept.-Oct.) has the best weather in my opinion. The beach is beautiful and there really is a lot to do in the area. Zip up to Santa Cruz for a night on the town or just lounge on the beach the whole time. Its GREAT!! Says Kris McNew
