Point Mugu State Park
Point Mugu State Park is 15 miles south of Oxnard. The 15,000-acre park has a variety of recreation areas, including several beaches - Point Mugu Beach, Thornhill Broome Beach, and Sycamore Cove Beach. South of the park are two other popular beaches - County Line Beach (AKA Yerba Buena Beach) and Staircase Beach.
Point Mugu Beach
Point Mugu Beach, a one-third-mile long triangle of sand, is located between Point Mugu Rock and the Naval property. Parking is found along the side of the highway next to the beach. Lifeguards are on duty during the summer.

Thornhill Broome Beach
Thornhill Broome Beach, formerly known as La Jolla Beach, is one of the few places in California that allows camping right on the beach. The sandy beach makes a nice place to enjoy the sun or stroll nearly 1½ miles along the surf line. Tide pools offer fascinating views of marine life. Lifeguards are on duty during the summer; however, rip-currents are still a danger and swimmers should be wary. Restrooms are portable toilets. There are no day-use facilities.
