surf spot is on a point (a few miles north of that photo spot) which has

  I have seen those 'camps' too.  There is also a train track between the
road from the picture's perspective and the vehicles and another frontage
road that goes just between the tracks and the vehicles in the pics.  The
"beach" is rock at high tide...low tide there may be sand.
  There are 'surprise' camping places in So Cal, though, places that are
quite nice right on some of the worlds most expensive real estate...Camp
quick, though, before California sells em for their state budget shortage.
