From a map, Jalama Beach County Park looks like one of the most isolated beach campgrounds in Southern California. The beach hugs a crescent-shaped coastline between Point Conception and Point Arguello, just south of Vandenberg Air Force Base.
No multimillion-dollar mansions or rickety piers mar the coastline for miles in either direction. Just the ocean lapping at the raw land, as it has for millions of years.
Despite its remote locale, Jalama Beach is not the rough, isolated park I expected to find when I drove a winding, two-lane country road to the sand-swept campground in February. A dozen relatives and I arrived a few hours before sunset.
