This site is located at the base of the bluff which houses a gorgeous campground and wooded area. Have your wedding either on the beach or on the bluff above. The views of Monterey Bay are spectacular.
Note: the walk down to the beach does require navigating a long staircase so the beach area is not appropriate for anyone with mobility issues.
What we love about this site:

It's a California beach.
Multi-layered site: has both beach and bluff access making for good photo options.
