Too bad it's right next to a nuclear power plant, a major interstate freeway (I-5) a railroad track and one of the largest military bases in the world (Camp Pendleton).  Other than that, it's a great beach!!!

I would have to think twice about that beach with a nuclear plant and railroad track right by it. But the military base is no big deal. After all, there is Tyndall Air Force Base between PC Beach and Mexico Beach. And that barrier island Crooked Island is probably on the Air Force property as is Shell Island probably.

It is by far the best surf I have ever surfed.  Made trips to Costa Rico seem like a waste of time as far as surf goes!  Water in Sanonofre is actually clean.

Have fun but be safe. How far are you from Big Sur? You ever been to Hawaii and surfed? Those waves are gigantic.

Trestles is the only North American stop on the world tour...that's gotta say something for the quality of surf.  It is an amazing beach and hike.  Tons of sea life in tide pools.  Brody and I spend hours investigating the rocks and kelp that make up the shoreline.  

I love to watch the amazing surfers.  These guys (and girls) rip.  It is absolutely my favorite weekend activity.  I don't mind the freeway.  It is only a part of the hike....the rest is a downward slope that is a favorite for skateboarders.  Too much fun watching these guys skate with their boards and wetsuits at hanging from them.  The train is an added attraction.  Brody loves to wait for it, then try to snap a picture of it.   

Having the best adventure...daily.  Love and miss you guys.
