Well, the 4WD beach experience on that stretch is Pismo Beach.  You can camp
right on the beach, primitive-like. Here's a link:

Just remember, the wind blows.  Sand.  Into everything, unless you maintain
good discipline (2 pups?).
There is also a regular State Park nearby, viewable on same root site as
above.

  Subject: California Coast

  Hi everyone. Well we are looking to make a trip out to California from
here in Colorado. We plan to cut across and end up in San Francisco, then
head south down the coast to LA, then East through Las Vegas and back home.
We are going to have 5 days traveling the Coast from Frisco to LA. It will
be my wife and I and our 2 pups. Any camping suggestions along the way? We
would love to be able to put the Syncro on, or near the beach a few nights
and have some privacy. Any comments or suggestions greatly appreciated.
