One of the nicest things about a tour of duty at Camp Pendleton is the Pacific Ocean. Del Mar Beach, at the southern end of the base, and San Onofre beach to the north, offer miles of magnificent surf in the heart of Southern California.
Cottages and campsites with electrical hook ups are available to rent by sponsors and spouses only at both beaches. The cottages have one to three bedrooms, all have kitchens and TV's and many have fire rings. Each beach has a bath house and lifeguards are on duty year-round
Food/Refreshments/Store
Del Mar Beach Bar & Grill & Store - Seasonal Trailer adjacent to cottages.
Food Vending Machines - There are plenty of vending machines at both beaches with snacks, ice cold sodas, juices, water and more.
