Point Mugu State Park, a five-mile-long stretch of beautiful coastline, is located within the Santa Monica Mountains. Rugged hills, pristine beaches, two large canyons, sand dunes, and lush valleys are some of the main attractions in the 40,000acre park. More than 70 miles of hiking trails zigzag across the interior and coastal parts of Point Mugu State Park, and there are spots for swimming and surfing.

Winter visitors occasionally will catch glimpses of migrating whales.

Stay here: The park has two designated campgrounds called Thornhill Broome and Sycamore Canyon that are open for tent camping as well as trailer camping.
