There’s a rare form of magic in the crisp air along the California Coast, which is why it’s best enjoyed outdoors. Camping along these beaches rich with ancient trees, active sea life and a bounty of activities (for all ages!) will support you in creating the ideal vacation for your entire family. To ensure it’s more fun than frustrating, follow these tips.
1. Find the Perfect Spot.
It’s hard to go wrong when finding a site to camp along the West Coast, but depending on your family’s specific needs, some locations will suit your family better than others. Take your preferences for sites (e.g., not near cliffs, activities for young children and a beach with a mellow break) and find a few spots that meet your needs.
I had very negative (sometimes cruel) things to say to myself before I started “selfishly” giving to others.
When I woke up on my first Mother’s Day, I forgot I was one of the women being celebrated.

And then my partner asked me if I wanted to take a break. “Isn’t this supposed to be a day to celebrate you too?”
Music allowed me to hear the voice of my unborn baby.
Be wary of a friend who uses your pregnancy as a soapbox for self-righteousness.
