Getting Outdoors

Sunset State Beach is made up of glorious stretches of golden sands followed by rolling dunes. If you have a fishing license, one of the most popular activities is throwing out a line and trying to catch perch and sardines. In the dunes, there is a remote-control glider port where enthusiasts come and send their creations into the air. Even if you don't have one yourself, watching the model crafts flying above the beach can be great fun.

Camping at Sunset State Beach

In total Sunset State Beach offers over 70 RV sites to make use of, making it perfect for state park RV camping, all of which allow visitors to make use of the fire rings, picnic tables, grills, and food storage lockers.

Wei was extremely communicative and provided all of the information I needed to utilize the vehicle. He worked with me to ensure I was able to pick up and drop off at times that worked for both of us as well.

Yujun was great! He explained everything very clearly so that I felt comfortable driving his RV. We had a great weekend and it was the perfect size for the 3 of us! We will definitely do this again some time!
