We stayed at the Embassy Suites Mandalay Bay, we could walk 50 feet or less to get to the beach. Lots of large sand dunes.

This is a large beach with a nice sized parking lot. We were here on a Friday evening and plenty of families grilling out, playing games, etc. Great place to watch a Sept. SoCal sunset.

The beach area I visited was not crowded. I felt safe! There were people out & about enjoying the view and exercising too.

Amazing sunsets. Sand dunes. Paved walking paths with benches. Friendly locals. Safe, clean beach. Adjacent to a spacious park. What’s not to love about this place?

Mandalay State Beach is one of the nicest and deserted beaches in Southern California. It has hiking and biking paths and the walk on the sand is so relaxing!

We were maybe 1/2 mile before the ManStateBeach..... but same beach.
Never have I seen a sunset like here. Appeared that the sun set infront of the islands, which is an optical illusion.
Huge wide beach, in October water ice cold.

Windy and often chilly. Foggy coast all along this area. The fog rolls in and the temperature drops. Afternoons are chilly and often blown out.

Is this beach safe to swim in?
Enrique L
Oxnard, CA17 contributions
It is safe to swim in depending on the tide. At times, the waves can be quite large making it difficult to swim in, casually. Its usually not too bad, though.
Can you bring your own BBQ pit on the beach?
Jeff N
Oxnard, CA195 contributions
I don't think it is allowed. There are bbq pits at the park next to the beach
Are dogs allowed on the beach?
