User reviews
"The beach is located 3.5 hours away from Temecula and 4 hours from North Orange County. It offers stunning west-facing views of La Bufadora and the famous Big Surf Spot. The sunsets at Toda Santos are simply spectacular. Additionally, the beach boasts golden, fine sand that is perfect for lounging and relaxing. Come check it out by rolling down your Sprinter!"
Layla Stanton
"This serene beach is spotless and tranquil in the early hours of the day. However, as the sun begins to peak, visitors start trickling in, and the coconut vendors start their trade. Unfortunately, the vendor's loud horn disrupts the tranquility of the area, which was previously peaceful."
