"Nestled amid the Vandenberg SpaceForce Base in the central coast of California, lies a breathtaking and secluded beach that is a sight to behold. However, gaining access to this hidden gem requires base access, but the panoramic views that await you are worth the effort. The only downside is the presence of litter, which is most likely caused by the ocean current."
Miguel Hernandez
"The beach is at its prime during the late winter season when the tide is low, making it the perfect time to spot sea stars in their natural habitat. The abundance of tide pools also provides ample opportunity to explore and discover the wonders of the ocean. This beach is truly a gem for nature enthusiasts and beach lovers alike."
