Getting Outdoors

You’ll find a small meandering trail by the beach that is awesome for just about any activity, be it cycling, running, or even rollerblading. Avid hikers will be glad to hear that the San Elijo Hills area is home to over 18 miles of trails that offer scenic views of the lake, San Marcos, the Pacific Ocean, and beyond.

Camping at San Elijo State Beach

San Elijo State Beach is truly the next big thing to a beach house. Due to its location, you’ll be able to easily access the beach, wonderful trails, and the creature comforts of San Diego.

The sites may not be the most private in the world, but the breathtaking beachfront views make the sacrifice worthwhile.
