From the reviews
Beautiful bluff top special event and group camping space for reservation at a nightly rate. Space for ten cars and a dozen tents or a beautiful sunset reception with enough room for 100.
Almost everyday walk the camp grounds. Lots of friendly people from various and changing locations. Beach access along the walk in this California State Campground.
Getting married at Pelican Point
Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
