Volkswagen California 2.0 TDI Beach Tour 5dr DSG [7 Seat] Review

Category: Camper van

Section: Version review

Get the best price with What Car?

You can tell plenty of thought and experience has gone into the VW California’s practical interior, even if folding out the beds takes a bit of muscle. It handles well by camper standards and has reasonable performance, but the Mercedes Marco Polo is better to drive, plusher inside and has easier to convert beds.

This is effectively an MPV that just so happens to have a couple of double beds, one in the pop-up roof and another created by folding the rear seats. You don’t get a kitchen or cupboards, but you do get the option of up to seven seats, a removable camping table with a couple of folding chairs, a 6.5in touchscreen infotainment system and twin sliding rear doors as standard.

Unless you opt for an Ocean model, this 2.0-litre four-cylinder diesel engine is your only option. Available only with a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox, its 148bhp was good enough for 0-60mph in 12.1sec during our tests and it managed 33.5mpg, too. As it’s unlikely you’ll be driving quickly in your camper, it’s our pick.

Nuevo VW California Beach: un camper que ofrece una gran habitabilidad en poco espacio

Esta variante de cinco plazas, que se sitúa entre la básica camper tour y la tope de gama ocean, equipa un módulo para cocinar .

El techo elevable permite ganar altura en el interior de este camper 

Eugeni Gallego

Hemos comenzado 2022 y con el calendario por completar surgen los propósitos. También es época de promesas, sueños y planes por hacer en cualquier estación del año, como viajar a bordo de un camper para ir a surfear las olas del cantábrico. Y qué mejor que hacerlo a bordo de un Volkswagen California , el icónico modelo con el que recorreríamos los confines de la tierra al más puro estilo hippie. Nosotros hemos ido a la montaña con la variante California Beach Camper, una novedad que llegó con la actualización del Volkswagen T6.1. 

Hasta ahora, la oferta comercial del Volkswagen California se dividía en Beach y Ocean. La primera de ellas era básica, con techo levadizo y calefacción independiente pero poco más. El Ocean, en cambio, incluye un mueble lateral que incorpora fregadero, cocina con dos fogones, nevera de 43 litros de capacidad y muebles para guardar equipaje. Con la intención de completar su propuesta, y seguir siendo el más vendido, la familia camper alemana añade la versión intermedia denominada Beach Camper. Motivo para renombrar la edición de acceso como Beach Tour.

La gama Transporter es conocida por su diseño atemporal pero en cada actualización va incoroporando algún retoque 

Lejos de lo que podríamos imaginar, el modelo California Beach Tour tiene un público muy amplio. Las ventajas de este camper se enfocan en su versatilidad y la posibilidad de añadir una segunda banqueta para homologarse como vehículo mixto de hasta 7 plazas. Esta configuración supone más del 20% de la cuota de mercado del Beach, de modo que la firma en España no podía renunciar a su comercialización. De ahí que surgiera esta tercera opción a medio camino del completo California Ocean.

¿Qué introduce el Beach Camper?

La intención de Volkswagen con el California Beach Camper es sencilla: ofrecer un habitáculo más amplio con mayor autonomía para sus propietarios. Las comidas y cenas en restaurantes pueden suponer un coste significativo durante un viaje sobre ruedas, motivo que reduce la independencia de los aventureros. ¿La solución? Añadir un módulo plegable con un fogón y espacio para preparar la comida.

Este módulo de cocina plegable da cierta autonomía para preparar comidas, sin necesidad de ir a un restaurante 

Esta solución práctica, que se esconde en la pared izquierda del California, supone la instalación de un sistema de gas para colocar una pequeña bombona de butano justo bajo el mueble. Encima de este espacio encontramos una toma de 220 y 12 V, muy prácticas para cuando estamos acampados e incluso enchufados en una toma eléctrica de un camping o zona de estacionamiento de autocaravanas.

Las ventajas que te convencerán para viajar en autocaravana o camper

¿Son seguras las autocaravanas y campers?

Esta mejora implica la homologación del California Beach Camper como autocaravana . De todos modos, y dado que no supera los 3.500 kilogramos de peso, los límites de velocidad son idénticos que los de un turismo: 120 km/h en vías rápidas y 90 km/h en carreteras convencionales. Únicamente deberemos tenerlo en cuenta al contratar una póliza de seguros y las pertinentes ITV.

¿Qué ventajas y desventajas tiene frente a un Ocean?

El California Beach Camper tiene una ventaja clara frente al equipado Ocean: el espacio. El mueble lateral del modelo tope de gama resta mucho espacio al habitáculo, limitando la banqueta trasera a dos personas durante la circulación y la pernocta. El Beach Camper, en cambio, cuenta con 3 asientos para los trayectos y un espacio de 1,48 x 1,90 m para la cama inferior.

El portón trasero da acceso a un maletero que podría incorporar un WC químico portátil 

Eso sí, pierdes toda la capacidad de almacenaje que admite el mueble del Ocean. No solo bajo los fogones y el fregadero, también en la parte posterior que guarda la ducha exterior y la zona para la bombona de butano. A cambio, tienes un maletero de tamaño considerable en el que organizarte tus maletas e incluso añadir un WC químico portátil para tus retiros espirituales.

Novedades del California T6.1

Aprovechamos la prueba del California Beach Camper a las faldas del Pirineo para hablaros de las novedades que introduce el último restyling T6.1. La gama Transporter es conocida por su diseño atemporal pero siempre le sienta bien algún que otro retoque. Un lavado de cara que, esta vez, se identifica por un paragolpes inferior rediseñado y los grupos ópticos Full LED, con la franja cromada que les une a través de la parrilla.

El VW California Beach Camper incorpora una baqueta de tres plazas y un módulo plegable de cocina en el lateral 

En el interior la evolución es notable, con la introducción de un salpicadero nuevo que sigue ofreciendo muchos huecos para los objetos y visibilidad excelente desde la posición de conducción. Introduce la pantalla de instrumentación digital y la central puede ser de 6,5 pulgadas con App Connect integrado. En nuestro caso, contábamos con el sistema de infoentretenimiento Discover Media con pantalla de 8 pulgadas pero todavía hay un nivel por encima, con pantalla de 9,2 pulgadas.

El Display táctil sobre los asientos del conductor y copiloto también es una novedad. A través de sus menús podremos gestionar el techo levadizo, con sistema electrohidráulico de serie, la calefacción independiente, alarmas, luces del habitáculo e información sobre la nivelación del camper durante la pernocta, entre otras cosas.

The 40 best California outdoor experiences. Period.

• Show more sharing options
• Copy Link URL Copied!

This is the California we’ve been pining for — 40 summer destinations that call to us loudly in good times and bad.

To build this list, I thought about the places I was most eager to see, hear, feel, smell and taste again after decades of traveling the state and 14 months of staying home. There are no deserts here, because we’re talking about summer. And no theme parks, because they get enough attention. But what epic, irresistible wonders there are! I’ve road-tested them all, except for one spot 14,505 feet above sea level. (Fortunately, my colleague Mary Forgione, of “ The 50 Best Hikes in L.A. ,” has that summit covered.)

If you’re getting to know California, these 40 are great places to begin. But we’ve tried to make this list more than a starter kit. Even if you’re an old hand, there will be destinations that you’ve missed, and I’ve added a pro tip to every destination.

Has the pandemic changed these places? Yes. Scores of restaurants and other businesses are gone. Among those remaining, there are smaller staffs, more patio seats, shorter hours and tighter crowd limits. All those circumstances are evolving, so check websites.

If you have a nomination for this collection, send it to @mrcsreynolds ( Twitter or Instagram ), [email protected] or tell us here . Like us in the face of adversity, this list needs to grow and change.

Now let’s get back on the road.

Best Southern California Beaches For Families

Ocean beach – san diego.

San Diego’s Ocean Beach is the ideal beach destination to take your family on a weekend getaway in California

Located just north of Point Loma, this laid-back approximately mile-long beach with a charming hippie vibe offers families a unique throw-back to the California of olden days. Its pier is the longest of its kind on the West Coast that splits into an iconic T-shape.

One of the great things about Ocean Beach is that there are many activities available for families with children. Whether it’s swimming or surfing at one of their designated beaches or simply going out for ice cream after dinner, there’s something each family can enjoy here.

There’s even a playground equipped with swings and slides located near the pier where kids can have fun while parents relax.

Taking a stroll down Newport Avenue provides opportunities to do window shopping and gives kids a chance to see all sorts of colorful street performers who frequently visit throughout summer months.

One must-do activity for any visit to Ocean Beach is a walk along the Ocean Beach Pier. It’s a great spot to take in the views, watch surfers catch waves, or simply relax and enjoy the sound of those crashing waves. Adventurous can try their surfing skills at the designated surfer-only beach at the end of Newport Avenue.

Insider Tip

No trip to Ocean Beach would be complete without trying out Hodad’s on Newport Avenue. This is a great spot for grabbing some of the best burgers in San Diego, which can be enjoyed outdoors with views of the beach.

Where To Stay In Ocean Beach

There are no chain hotels in Ocean Beach, which make it more special. For those looking for upscale lodging, the Inn at Sunset Cliffs is terrific. But those seeking something more affordable, Ocean Beach Hotel has more budget-friendly rates.

Ocean Beach is the perfect spot to bring the whole family!

Torrey Pines – San Diego

Torrey Pines is located just outside of San Diego. It’s a great beach for families visiting the city looking for an escape. The park’s landscape is breathtaking, and it’s an outdoor adventurer’s dream.

Visitors can spend the day sunbathing, playing in the sand, surfing, or swimming. Beach fishing is an option here too! The beach is clean, and it’s a wonderful spot to spend time outdoors or enjoy a picnic as a family.

Hiking is also a popular activity at this state park. Most Torrey Pines hikes  are easy routes, making them enjoyable for hikers of all ages and abilities. Some of the top hikes include Torrey Pines Beach Loop, Yucca Point Trail, and Guy Fleming Trail.

These trails offer some of the most stunning views in all of southern California. The famed Torrey Pine trees and weathered sandstone bluffs make for a dramatic backdrop to an afternoon’s adventure in this park.

On the weekends, the Visitor Center has a free one-hour guided walk at 10:00 am.

Where To Stay At Torrey Pines

After spending a long day soaking up the California sun, relax and unwind at Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines . The hotel has an awesome location, just a few miles outside of the park. This 4-star hotel delivers when it comes to comforts and accommodations.

Enjoy the beach and all the wonders of Torrey Pines!

By Candice, GS Ginger

Coronado Beach – San Diego

There is no denying that California is home to some of the best beaches in the US, but families spending a weekend in San Diego must visit Coronado Beach .

Found on the island of Coronado in San Diego, this 1.75-mile-long beach sees thousands of visitors each year. Alongside the gorgeous California views, family travelers will find this beach buzzing with life. Spend time surfing in the designated areas, swimming in the sea, playing volleyball, and sunbathing on the white sandy shore.  There are picnic tables and a playground just a short distance away from Sunset Park . There are also full-time lifeguards at this beach.

As the sun starts to set, head to their fire rings and cozy up in front of the fire, roast marshmallows, and catch up with friends.

While dogs are not allowed on the main beach, furry friends can still join in on all the fun at the designated “Dog Beach” located at the north end.

Where To Stay In Coronado Beach

Keep in mind, it is best to get here early as parking can be limited unless families are staying at a hotel nearby – most famously, Hotel del Coronado. In that case, they should enjoy the beautiful walk. When looking for a place to stay, Hotel del Coronado is an incredible choice, and it is located right on Coronado Beach. Even if families decide not to stay here, it is an excellent place for lunch and very popular.

La Jolla Shores – San Diego

Another beach that’s a crowd favorite is La Jolla Shores ! This beach is located in one of the most scenic neighborhoods in all of San Diego and is perfect for those traveling with little ones!

Compared to other beaches in the area, La Jolla Shores is known to have relatively calm and gentle waves. This makes the beach ideal for swimming, boogie boarding, and even surfing for younger kids! Plus, there are lifeguards on duty throughout the day to ensure everyone is staying safe.

Alternatively, if little ones need a break from the sand and water, there are fun playgrounds and a couple of big grassy areas nearby on which to run them. You’ll find fire pits scattered around the shoreline that are great for gathering around to make s’mores and enjoy the local cuisine!

Just make sure to claim your fire pit before sunset, as this is when the local university students usually show up!

Where To Stay At La Jolla Shores

So, if you’re looking for a family-friendly beach, La Jolla Shores is definitely worth checking out. And for places to stay, check out La Jolla Shores Hotel . It’s located directly on the beach and provides easy access to several nearby attractions and places with its free shuttle service!

By Kristin of Global Travel Escapades

Newport Beach Pier – Newport Beach

A great family fun beach day can be found at Newport Beach Pier. This location has to be one of the best beaches in Southern California. The beaches are pristine and consistently cleaned of trash and other items. Families will find plenty of open space, so they won’t feel like they are being crowded by all the other people enjoying the beach. And it just gives off that relaxed vibe that makes it so close to a paradise.

One of the top things we recommend is heading to the Newport Beach Pier on a Sunday for a lovely farmers market . Families will find plenty of artisanal foods and crafts here, and after can spend time walking along the boardwalk with all the fantastic boutique shops and food places. Rent an e-bike or scooter to get around and see more. An extra fun activity is taking a boat tour for whale watching or just for sightseeing. It’s a relaxing trip around the coast with the ocean breeze, trying to spot these friendly mammals and get wonderful panoramic views of the land.

Plan on coming early to get a decent parking spot close to the beach. After 10 am, visitors might have to park a few blocks away.

Where To Stay In Newport Beach

Instead of a hotel, we highly recommend spending a little extra and renting one of the many VRBO beach properties right next to the sand. Nothing beats waking up and stepping outside with a morning coffee to view the ocean at your door. It’s well worth the extra cost just to get that experience.

San Clemente Pier City Beach – San Clemente

San Clemente, in Orange County, is the final town on the mythical Pacific Coast Highway and is often described as ‘The Spanish village by the sea”. Within its boundaries are the beaches that make up the “Endless Summer” of California beach fame.

Just south of the San Clemente pier, between T-Street Beach and Linda Lane Beach, San Clemente Pier City Beach is a great family beach spot to kick back, enjoy sunsets and watch surfers shooting through the pier. Restaurants are plentiful in the area, so no need to rush away when hunger strikes.

Unlike many OC beach towns, San Clemente is set back from PCH, so has more of a small-town, quiet vibe away from busy traffic. San Clemente is a popular place for families to both live and vacation, so is well set up for family travel, and there are plenty of fun things to do in San Clemente .

San Clemente is a great place for a laidback beach vacation, and families will appreciate the playgrounds. Our favorite is Linda Lane , a grassy playground that leads straight to another great beach right next to lifeguard tower 6.

One of the biggest bonuses is that the village of San Clemente is walkable and well-connected by public transport, so it’s a place families can visit without a car. The San Clemente Coastal Trail runs through this beach, a 2.5-mile trail that skirts the ocean between North Beach and San Clemente State Beach . The Surfliner Amtrak train stops right beside the San Clemente Pier. There’s also a free trolley that takes visitors around the village and connects to neighboring Orange County beach towns.

Where To Stay In San Clemente

We recommend staying at a beach house or condo through VRBO , which is perfect for families. Many provide all sorts of free equipment, including bikes, a beach trailer, and beach toys. They’re also either on within walking distance of the beach and pier.

Aliso Beach – Laguna Beach

Nestled along the picturesque coastline of Orange County, Aliso Beach is the perfect beach destination for an unforgettable family vacation in California.  What sets Aliso Beach apart from other sandy stretches in California is its mesmerizing tide pools , making it an ideal spot for families with curious kids eager to discover the wonders of marine life.

Aliso Beach has a spacious range of activities suitable for all ages. Young children and even older kids can spend hours wading in the shallow waters and searching for fascinating creatures amidst the vibrant tide pools. From small crabs scurrying across the rocks to colorful sea anemones gently swaying with the current, the tide pools provide a captivating hands-on educational experience for young ones.

Aliso Beach’s pristine sandy shores provide ample space for building sandcastles, playing beach volleyball, or soaking up the sun while enjoying a leisurely picnic. The gentle waves at Aliso Beach make it a great spot for beginner surfers, and there are even surf schools nearby that offer lessons for the whole family to enjoy.

While Aliso Beach is popular among locals, not many people are aware that during low tide, a hidden sea cave is revealed along the northern end of the beach. Venture into this secret cave with caution, and you’ll be rewarded with a magical experience as the sunlight filters through the cracks, casting ethereal rays on the surrounding rock formations. It’s a moment of serenity and awe for families to cherish forever.

Where To Stay In Aliso Beach

When it comes to accommodations, the Pacific Edge Hotel is an excellent choice for families. Located just a stone’s throw away from Aliso Beach, this beachfront hotel offers comfortable and spacious rooms with stunning ocean views.

Huntington Beach – Huntington Beach

One of the best beaches in California for families is, without a doubt, Huntington Beach.  Huntington Beach is located along the coast in Orange County.  It consists of 8.5 miles of beach known for comfortable temperatures and great surfing.  And this is where its “Surf City” nickname comes from.

As great as the surfing may be at Huntington, there’s more to see and do there.  The Huntington Beach Pier is an iconic feature of the city and beach.  Enjoy a stroll to the end of the pier to see fisherman fishing and views of surfers catching waves.  In the exact opposite direction of the pier, you’ll find downtown Huntington Beach.  There are shops to explore and restaurants to eat at, but it’s also where you’ll find the Huntington Beach International Surfing Museum.  Be sure to go inside and see the way the history of surfing is preserved.

Along the beach itself, you’ll find bonfire pits, an excellent bike path, and plenty of shops to rent bikes from.  If you’re traveling with a pup (or would like to see some), there’s an excellent dog-friendly section of the beach.  The dog-watching here is just as much, if not more, fun than the people-watching!

Families who ride a bike in the area should note that they’re not allowed to be ridden on the pier itself. They need to be walked on the pier. It’s important to know because those who try to ride a bike on the pier will be called out over a loudspeaker and told to walk it along. This can be embarrassing!

Where To Stay In Huntington Beach

For a great place to stay on your visit to Huntington Beach, consider booking at Huntington Surf Inn .  This hotel offers clean rooms in a great location that’s within walking distance from the beach.  It’s the perfect place to stay for a family beach vacation.

Enjoy your time at beautiful Huntington Beach!

Oceanside City Beach – Oceanside

Oceanside is a small-town beach away from the big city hubub. There is a beachfront along the entire town and a nice harbor for families looking for boating activities.

Oceanside City Beach is right in the middle of town and is located to the right and left of the Oceanside Pier, the second-longest pier in California! The four-mile-long beach is sandwiched between the ocean and The Strand, a boardwalk used for walking, rollerblading, and biking. Along the beach, there is a playground and a shop to rent or buy beach toys, umbrellas, and everything a family needs for a beach day. There are also surf lessons for adults, children, or families who want to learn together.

Within a few blocks of the pier, you’ll find some of the best restaurants in town. Check out High/Low for great brunch offerings. Their coffees and sandwiches and open-air dining area are a great way to take a break from the sun.

Don’t forget to visit the house from the original Top Gun movie right across the street from the pier!

Where To Stay In Oceanside

The harbor is a little further down the Coast Highway, where our hotel pick is. Oceanside Marina Suites is a bit dated, but its roomy suites and harbor views with long patios make it a pleasant place to rest if you don’t mind the musical song of the sea lions serenading you at night.

Oceanside has a little something for everyone, without all the traffic and hustle and bustle of the beaches in the bigger cities.

By Andrew from  Flights and Footsteps

Alamitos Beach – Long Beach

A day trip to Long Beach is one of the best things to do in Southern California.  Alamitos Beach is a wide and fun beach. Alamitos Beach has a food concession stand that rents everything a family needs to enjoy a perfect beach day, bikes, surreys, beach chairs and even volleyballs for the free court. Alamito Beach has a bike path for all things wheely like rollerblades and surreys. The water is perfectly calm at Alamitos Beach because it’s shielded by the Port of Long Beach and the breakwater.

Alamitos Beach is right next to Shoreline Village, one of the most popular areas in Long Beach with colorful shops and a waterfront promenade. The wide concrete boardwalk along the marina at Shoreline Village is great for biking, skateboarding, and riding the Surrey family bikes.

The famous Aquarium of the Pacific near Shoreline Village is a favorite attraction among families. There are touch pools at the Aquarium of the Pacific which are a hit among kids as they can feel various sea creatures.

Where To Stay In Long Beach

The best place to stay at the Long Beach waterfront is the Hyatt Regency Long Beach , as it is within walking distance to Shoreline Village and all its attractions.

South of the Pier – Redondo Beach

Redondo Beach , nestled in the charming South Bay LA, stands out as one of the best beaches in California for families due to its wide array of family-friendly attractions and activities. Additionally, the beach in Redondo (especially south of the Pier, towards Torrance Beach) is one of the quietest, most kid-friendly beaches near Los Angeles.

The iconic Redondo Beach Pier is a major draw for all ages, offering a quaint place to spend an afternoon browsing the delectable eateries, grabbing a scoop of ice cream, and enjoying the views and ambiance. Families can take leisurely walks along the pier, enjoy the cool sea breeze, and even spot local marine life.

For older kids, Redondo Beach provides thrilling opportunities for kayaking/SUPing (in the harbor), surfing (Sapphire St. is the most kid-friendly), or biking (along the Strand).

Beyond the beach, Redondo Beach and the surrounding South Bay Area boast numerous family-oriented activities, such as the Veteran’s Park or whale watching tours, where families can embark on unforgettable marine adventures together.

Younger kids will delight in the Seaside Lagoon , a haven of family-friendly fun. The lagoon features a calm and shallow saltwater swimming area, making it a safe and enjoyable spot for children to splash and play. Families can relax on the sandy shore, indulge in the snack bar, play a game of volleyball, and enjoy the children’s play structures.

Where To Stay In Redondo Beach

There are  many affordable hotels in Redondo Beach  for families that are near the ocean. One of the best all-around hotels to check out is the Redondo Beach Hotel , Tapestry Collection, located right by the harbor for easy access to activities and restaurants. Whether your family is adventure-oriented or simply looking to relax on a lovely beach, Redondo Beach is an excellent choice for your next family vacation!

Muscle Beach – Venice Beach

Muscle Beach is a couple of miles south of the Santa Monica Pier. Although the iconic Muscle Beach is located on Ocean Front Walk, better known as the Venice Boardwalk, the beach by the water is great for surfing, and families can swim in designated areas. It might not be as pretty as some of the other beaches in the area, but what makes it such a fun place to visit are all the things to see and do close by.

For people of a certain age, Muscle Beach is best known for the time Gold’s Gym occupied the space and is the place where Arnold Schwarzenegger used to train in the outdoor gym. For anyone who lived through the 80s and early 90s, these are nostalgic sights. Visitors can still see bronzed bodybuilders pumping iron in the sun.

Muscle Beach is open to all….even potential Presidents! Via Twitter screengrabs from @sovereignbrah/Twitter

For younger family members, it is the skatepark , the 2-mile-long Venice Boardwalk , street performers, and the colorful murals that make Venice Beach special. Rent a bike to explore the many outdoor shops, but it can get busy on the boardwalk. Instead, put on walking shoes and explore on foot.

To escape the bustle of the boardwalk, visit the Venice Canals . It is a little further south and has small walkways along the canals where kids will love watching ducks swimming past and admire the different styles of buildings.

Close to the canals, and only two minutes from the beach, is Bellissimo Venice, a small deli with a couple of tables outside. This is a local favorite.

Where To Stay In Venice Beach

Most of the places to stay close to the beach can be a bit noisy. Families who want a beach view, a rooftop deck, and proximity to the skatepark can stay at The Hotel Erwin . A quieter option is The Kinney Venice Beach , which is further from the beach. This is a good option for families because it has ping-pong tables, hammocks, and a small pool.

Santa Monica Pier – Santa Monica

Santa Monica is a city about 15 miles west of downtown Los Angeles that boasts one of the most family-friendly beaches in the United States, with many activities and cultural attractions.

Many people flock to the iconic Santa Monica Pier which extends from the intersection of Colorado Avenue and Ocean Avenue and stretches out into the Pacific Ocean.

Some of the most popular activities here are sunset watching,  exercising  and enjoying a ride on the iconic Ferris Wheel also known as the Pacific Wheel.

There are also carnival games, a roller coaster called the West Coaster, a carousel, and various shops and restaurants along the pier. The pier also serves as a hub for fishing enthusiasts, with designated areas for casting a line into the ocean.

The pier is not only a recreational spot but also hosts events and concerts throughout the year. Its lively atmosphere, stunning ocean views, and range of entertainment options make it a must-visit attraction for families visiting Santa Monica.

Santa Monica has several cultural and artistic attractions that make for a fun and educational family trip. The Annenberg Community Beach House, the Santa Monica Museum of Art, and the Bergamot Station arts complex are just a few examples of the city’s artistic offerings.

Third Street Promenade is a pedestrian-only shopping street lined with shops, restaurants, and entertainment venues. It’s a great place to shop, dine, or catch a street performance.

Arrive at the beach early morning as opposed to later, as it can be difficult to find parking, and spots fill up quickly, especially on weekends.

Where To Stay In Santa Monica

There are several family-friendly hotels in Santa Monica, but our favorite is the Fairmont Miramar Hotel and Bungalows , right across the street from the bluffs of Palisades Park, overlooking the ocean. There is poolside service and a pool area surrounded by tropical foliage. Rooms are spacious and bright, and more private bungalows are available for a beachside special treat.

Surfrider Beach – Malibu

Families looking for a quintessential Southern California surfing experience have to visit picturesque Surfrider Beach in Malibu, which became popular after it appeared in several movies during the 1950s.

Part of Malibu Lagoon State Beach , which also includes the Malibu Pier and the Malibu Lagoon, this beach is a must for any aspiring surfer. While surfing is great at this beach, swimming opportunities are a bit limited due to rip currents in some parts of the area. Other popular activities at Surfrider Beach include diving and volleyball. The beach has a soft golden sand, which is perfect for sunbathing. On a calm day with no wind, you can also enjoy kayaking and paddle boarding.

This beach provides 90 parking spaces, which isn’t that many considering how many people come here. There are also restrooms and picnic facilities in the area.

The beach has showers and restrooms. There are no snack bars or restaurants, so bring snacks or a lunch. However, the adjacent Malibu Pier has a few food options.

Parking is accessible via bus 534 at Pacific Coast Highway and is open from sunrise to sunset.

There is parking in a paved lot at the entrance to the lagoon. On weekends, parking spots fill up quickly, so it’s best to arrive early and wrap up before it gets busy and the area runs out of parking.

Where To Stay In Malibu

If you want to spend a night in the area, book your stay at the Surfrider Malibu , a popular beachfront hotel.

Zuma Beach – Malibu

Westward beach (south zuma).

Bordering Westward Beach, on its south side, is Point Dume Beach in Point Dume Natural Preserve . Dramatic piles of boulders and cliffs hide small beaches. Visitors will often see rock climbers attempting to scale the craggy formations, and the area’s beauty often attracts wedding parties.

There is a hiking trail that starts at the end of Westward Beach, inside the parking lot. An out and back trail, young families can stop at any plateau and call it a victory after ascending to a glorious view of the ocean and a secret beach. Pirate’s Cove is just past the rocky outcrop blocking it from the rest of the contiguous sand. The trail leads adventurers to the top of the bluff and also leads to another trail leading to another favorite beach, Little Dume.

Where To Stay In Zuma Beach

The  Malibu Country Inn is a boutique hotel located right next to Westward Beach. The throwback hotel has rooms with patios and ocean, mountain, and garden views. Kids will love its proximity to the ocean, and parents will love their reasonable rates! A heated pool is an alternative to the cool ocean. Play available board games or throw a stick to Fido because he’s welcome to join too.

El Matador State Beach – Mailbu

El Matador State Beach in Malibu is a picturesque spot for a family beach day. The stunning rock formations lining the beach present a dramatic ocean atmosphere, making it a popular spot for families and photographers capturing their milestones.

The beach is popular because it’s great for a variety of activities. Families can swim in the water, sunbathe on the sand, and hike to the top of the rocks.

One of the best activities to do is to explore the impressive rock formations. During low tide, visitors can walk through several cave-like openings in the rocks, going beach to beach through narrow passageways. Be sure to check the tide, though – when it rolls in, access back to where you came from can become submerged underwater at high tide.

Some of the rocks have small tidepools formed on their surface. These tidepools are sometimes filled with small sea anemones and starfish.

For those visiting for the first time, know that the small parking area is often busy or full. However, parking along Pacific Coast Highway is free.

Where To Stay At El Matador State Beach

Near El Matador State Beach, the Malibu Beach Inn is a great hotel with rooms that offer stunning views of the Pacific. The hotel has high-quality amenities that make every stay feel comfortable and luxurious.

Central California Beaches

Miramar beach – santa barbara.

This will sound like a cop-out, but any beach in Santa Barbara will be amazing. However, after living there for a year, Miramar Beach is my favorite.

Because of its positioning in a small cove, it’s perfect for families as you won’t have large waves, it’s slightly less crowded, and it offers over a mile of beach, allowing families to take long walks. Plus, if they stay at the hotel, they’ll have almost everything they need on-site.

As for  things to do in Santa Barbara (there’s a lot!), here are some of our favorites. Hit the trails and go hiking. With most popular hikes less than 20 minutes from downtown SB, it’s so easy to get active in the area. The top hikes are Cold Springs Loop, Santa Barbara Hot Springs, or Inspiration Point. Furthermore, spending time at the Santa Barbara Zoo is a family favorite, along with watching surfers at any of the numerous beaches in addition to Miramar Beach.

Now, let’s talk about food! Everything in Santa Barbara is delicious, but the sushi really hits the spot. Our two favorites were Oku and Arigato. Plus, no trip to SB is complete without a trip to McConnell’s Ice Cream, which is absolutely amazing, and the kids will love you for it!

If you’re going to the hot springs, the parking lot is very small (only a handful of cars), so make sure to get there early or go for sunset.

Where To Stay In Santa Barbara

Miramar Beach is tucked away and right in front of the Rosewood Miramar Beach Hotel , but you don’t have to be a guest to use it. Though we recommend it for its coastal elegance, wonderful on-site restaurant,s and convenient beach access (plus available loungers and umbrellas!)

Your trip to Santa Barbara will be one you will remember for a long time. It’s such a fantastic city, and we can’t wait for you to experience it yourself!

Garrapata Beach – Big Sur

There are many beaches along the California coastline, but Garrapata Beach in Big Sur, just 6.7 miles south of Carmel-by-the-Sea, is one of the best for families.

The beach has beautiful soft sand with stunning jagged mountains just beyond the sand. There’s a parking lot located just a short and easy walk away from the beach, so it should make it easy to haul the family beach gear to and from the car. Also, the beach is dog friendly too!

Make sure the kids keep their eyes peeled, as sea lions, harbor seals, and sea otters frequent the waters here. And the California gray whales pass by each year during their migration!

Garrapata Beach is located inside Garrapata State Park , which is completely free to visit. There’s lots to do at the park, which makes it especially perfect for families. After frolicking in the ocean, plan a hike to enjoy even more gorgeous coastal views. For families with smaller kids, there’s a short 0.6-mile hike and longer ones for more adventurous children.

But the most unique part about Garrapata Beach is Calla Lily Valley ! Just down a trail from the beach, this valley is filled with calla lily flowers during the spring . Plan to visit this time of year if you can to experience this stunning sight!

Where To Stay In Garrapata Beach

Families can spend their entire vacation at nearby Carmel-By-The-Sea and stay at the Hyatt Carmel Highlands , which offers suites that are perfect for families. Or, opt to do the incredible Big Sur road trip  and make this one of your stops along the way.

Moonstone Beach – Cambria

Moonstone Beach in Cambria offers families much more than the ocean and sand between their toes. Moonstone Beach features a one-mile-plus boardwalk along the coast with expansive views of the Pacific and rugged bluffs. The boardwalk, on a cliffside just above the sand, is adorned with windswept Monterey cypress trees, shrubs, and seasonal wildflowers, making for an easy walk for kids of all ages. Then there is the beach itself, accessible via stairs from multiple spots along the way. A section of the beach consists of shiny, smooth, colorful stones, among which you might find the famous moonstones the beach is named after.

The beach is bookended by two sites that make this a great destination for families. At the southern end is Shamel Park – a community park featuring a playground area, a gazebo, picnic tables, restrooms, and a seasonal swimming pool. Making memories in a playground right by the beach teeming with birds like pelicans, cormorants, and Western gulls is sure to be special for kids.

Leffingwell Landing sits near the northern end with information boards that educate kids (and adults!) about the largest marine sanctuary in the continental United States – Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary . Families can rest on the benches or picnic tables and enjoy the marine life in this federally protected area. Don’t forget to bring binoculars. Lucky visitors might even spot whales during migration season. These are just a couple of ways to enjoy your time in Cambria .

Where To Stay In Cambria

Sand Pebbles Inn offers families the perfect spot to relax and linger in beautiful Cambria. Opt for a room with an ocean view or a gorgeous patio overlooking the coast and boardwalk. If that’s not enough, they bring a freshly prepared complimentary breakfast to your door that can be enjoyed in your room or carried to the beach. Dogs are welcome in certain rooms for an additional $25.

Morro Strand State Beach – Morro Bay

Morro Bay has a collection of the best family beaches in California. They boast stunning natural beauty with a picturesque coastline, pristine sand, and the iconic Morro Rock. The breathtaking views create a serene and relaxing family environment. Morro Bay is a must-stop on an LA to San Francisco road trip .

Our favorite spot, Morro Strand State Beach , is a great place to  r elax on the sandy shores of this family-friendly beach. It’s an excellent spot for sunbathing, beachcombing, building sandcastles, kayaking, paddle boarding, sailing, and flying kites. Boat tours and whale-watching excursions are also popular options.

Families can stroll along Morro Bay Harbor to watch the boats sail in and out. Kids can visit the marina and the bustling waterfront, where they might spot sea otters and sea lions.

Start a family visit by exploring the iconic Morro Rock , a volcanic plug that rises majestically from the ocean. It’s an iconic spot for taking photos and enjoying scenic views of the bay.

Then visit Morro Bay State Park.  This state park offers a variety of activities, including hiking, picnicking, and birdwatching. The park has several trails with stunning bay views and opportunities to spot local wildlife.

When visiting Morro Bay, check out  “The Sandspit,”  a narrow stretch of land located between the Morro Bay Harbor and the ocean. You’ll need to take a short hike through the Morro Bay State Park to get there.

Where To Stay In Morro Bay

The location of La Serena Inn makes it a great place to stay for families visiting Morro Bay. The property is about a half mile from the beach and only a few minutes walk from Bayfront restaurants.

Best Northern California Beaches

Fern grotto beach – santa cruz.

For families looking for a secluded and kid-friendly beach in California, Fern Grotto Beach in Santa Cruz is a hidden gem that deserves your attention. Tucked away from the bustling crowds, this picturesque spot offers a tranquil oasis for families to unwind and create lasting memories.

Fern Grotto Beach is a perfect recommendation for families because of its serene and relaxed atmosphere. Unlike some of the more popular beaches in California, this  hidden beach in Santa Cruz  is lesser-known, providing a peaceful and intimate setting for families to enjoy without the worry of overcrowding.

Families can partake in a variety of enjoyable activities while at Fern Grotto Beach. The beach’s calm waters are ideal for swimming, making it a safe and enjoyable spot for kids. Explore the tide pools and discover fascinating marine life together or take a leisurely stroll along the shoreline to collect seashells. Picnicking under the shade of the nearby trees is a delightful way to enjoy a family lunch while appreciating the beach’s natural beauty.

During low tide, a hidden cave becomes accessible to visitors. Kids will love exploring this secret nook, and it can make for an unforgettable adventure. Remember to check the tide schedule before visiting to make the most of this unique experience.

Where To Stay In Santa Cruz

For a comfortable stay near Fern Grotto Beach, the “Seaside Haven Resort” comes highly recommended. Situated just a short distance from the beach, this charming resort offers family-friendly amenities such as spacious rooms, a swimming pool, and a play area for kids. Its proximity to the beach allows you to conveniently spend more time on the sands and less time commuting.

Stinson Beach – Marin County

Located on  Highway 1 in the tiny coastal town of Stinson Beach, the namesake Stinson Beach is famous in an area that is not particularly known for its beaches.  Locals know that when the rest of the San Francisco Bay Area is socked in with fog, Stinson Beach is often the sunny exception.  And it is an inviting beach, with its large free parking lot and its wide sandy crescent beach.

Families can bring a blanket, some low chairs, and an umbrella to set up for enjoying its pleasures.  And don’t forget the picnic basket, though a snack bar does operate next to the lifeguard tower.   A lifeguard is on duty from late May to mid-September, and though the surf is usually safe, do be aware that rip tides and even sharks have been known to visit.

Around here, it is advised that beachgoers never turn their back on the ocean.  Many people like to come here even when it isn’t sunny to relax on the sand or enjoy a long surf-side walk.

The last time we visited, a box at the entrance to the sandy beach held colorful sand toys that were left behind and were being made available for other children to borrow.

Where To Stay In Stinson Beach

The area holds very few lodgings and restaurants.  One that does work nicely for families is Sandpiper Lodging at the Beach , which has six regular rooms and four cabins with kitchens.

Volkwagen T6 California (2020) | Información general

• Información general
• Cambios en la información

Volkswagen actualiza la California que presentó en 2014 . Es un vehículo camperizado derivado de una furgoneta destinada a un uso industrial (el Volkswagen T6 2020 o T6.1). Está disponible con una carrocería de 4,9 m de longitud, cuya altura es 1,99 m. Reemplaza la  T6 California de 2015 . En función de la versión, hay hasta 7 plazas. Siempre hay dos camas: una en la parte inferior (hay que cambiar los asientos de posición para conseguir una superficie plana) y otra alojada en el techo elevable ( imagen ). El precio de partida es 55 175 euros ( precios, ficha técnica y equipamiento de toda la gama ). Algunas de las alternativas son el Mercedes-Benz Marco Polo ( todos los precios ) o el  Ford Transit Custom Nugget Pop-up  (el montaje del mobiliario interior y de las opciones de camperización las lleva a cabo Westfalia). Otras alternativas son la Toyota PROACE Verso Camper o la Citroën Spacetourer by Tinkervan cuyos precios de partida son mucho más bajos que los de la California en parte debido a que su equipamiento es menor (por ejemplo, las versiones de acceso no tienen techo elevable).

En esta nueva gama California hay cambios de aspecto tanto exteriores como interiores, pero lo más significativo es que hay nuevos niveles de equipamiento. El Beach se desdobla en dos, denominados Beach Tour ( todos los precios ) y Beach Camper ( todos los precios ). El California Beach Tour se puede matricular como turismo o vehículo mixto adaptable; el resto de California tienen homologación de autocaravana.

El Beach Tour tiene hasta 7 plazas en opción (5 de serie) y dos puertas laterales corredizas. El Beach Camper, de cuatro o cinco plazas, tiene una pequeña cocina de gas en uno de los laterales.

Tanto la California Beach Tour como la Beach Camper disponen de techo elevable (donde hay alojada una cama de 2,0 x 1,2 m), calefacción independiente programable, climatizador de tres zonas, asientos delanteros giratorios, mesa de camping  y dos sillas utilizables dentro y fuera del habitáculo. 

El nivel de equipamiento Ocean ( todos los precios ) es el más lujoso y con más equipamiento para hacer vida dentro, aunque pueden viajar cuatro personas. Además de lo disponible en las versiones Beach, el Ocean tiene una cocina de mayor tamaño ( imagen ) que la del Beach Camper, nevera y diversos muebles distribuidos por el interior (de distinto diseño que en el modelo anterior, imagen ), techo elevable electrohidráulico con abertura delantera ( imagen ) y toldo exterior. La calefacción independiente programable tiene mando a distancia.

Las California  2020 se puede elegir con motores Diesel de 150 y 199 CV (2.0 TDI en ambos casos; con doble turbo el más potente) y tracción delantera o total (4Motion). El cambio de marchas es siempre automático de siete velocidades. El depósito de carburante tiene 70 litros de capacidad y el de AdBlue es de 13 (según Volkswagen da para recorrer unos 5550 km). Volkswagen ofrece en opción para las California una protección para el cárter del motor y otra más completa para toda la parte inferior del vehículo. 

En el interior de la California 2020 hay un salpicadero distinto, instrumentación de pantalla, y un nuevo display en el techo donde se pueden consultar algunos aspectos del vehículo y la inclinación del terreno ( imagen ). Se puede elegir entre dos sistemas multimedia con navegador, con pantalla de 8 y 9,2 pulgadas de tamaño, además del básico sin navegador de 6,5 pulgadas. 

Como en el resto de la gama T6 (2020), la dirección es nueva (ahora es de asistencia electrohidráulica en lugar de electromecánica) y hay nuevos dispositivos de asistencia a la conducción como el asistente mantenimiento de carril, asistente de aparcamiento o una función del control de estabilidad que ayuda a mantener el control del remolque.

7 virtudes y 3 defectos de la Volkswagen California Beach Tour

Enlace copiado

Antes de que sigas leyendo, te aviso de que sobre las 7 virtudes y 3 defectos de la Volkswagen California Beach Tour puede haber disconformidad de pareceres, especialmente, en cuanto a los segundos. Y es que lo mínimo que debe reconocérsele a Volkswagen  es que ha alcanzado un nivel de perfección bastante elevado. 

Por ello, es mucho más fácil encontrar siete virtudes en la California Beach Tour que tres defectos que, aún así, localizamos principalmente en cuestiones conceptuales o carencias de equipamiento, aunque decir algo así de un vehículo como éste a alguno también pueda parecerle poco menos que sacrilegio, reconozcámoslo. 

VÍDEO: Volkswagen GRAND CALIFORNIA | PRUEBA a FONDO   

Después de décadas fabricando furgonetas camperas -hasta 2001, realmente, se las adaptaba Westfalia, pero son 100% VW desde que Daimler compró la firma aquel año-, la Volkswagen California se ha convertido en un estándar por derecho propio. Al menos en España, donde es mucho más frecuente que su única rival digna: la Mercedes Marco Polo. 

A continuación, puedes ver los 3 defectos y las 7 virtudes de la Volkswagen California Beach Tour . 

Virtud 1: Tecnología

Tras la última actualización en la Volkswagen California Beach Tour 2020 , no hay otra camper van que pueda ofrecerte lo mismo, aunque sea como opción: un cockpit digital de 10,25 pulgadas, pantalla de 9,2 pulgadas para guiar el sistema de infoentretenimiento o un navegador Discover Pro. 

Además, gracias a la dirección electromecánica que equipa, la California puede ahora llevar sistemas como velocidad de crucero adaptativa o un asistente de mantenimiento de carril. Así, una de las claras virtudes de la California Beach Tour es su tecnología. 

Virtud 2: Estética de turismo y atemporal

Desde la llegada de la generación T6 de la Volkswagen Transporter, la carrocería de la California pintada en bitono ofrece una estética moderna y retro a la vez y, por lo que sea y sobre todo si la eliges con pintura metalizada, tiene más pinta de turismo que nunca. Todo ello hace que, además, tenga una apariencia atemporal que, sin duda, es una de las grandes virtudes de la VW California . 

Esta estética se ha acentuado en la edición 2020 de la Volkswagen California Beach Tour , que lleva unos nuevos faros LED con una firma lumínica más afinada en el exterior. Por dentro, las molduras en negro piano, los tiradores de aluminio o el volante y la palanca del cambio en cuero consiguen que pase por el interior de un turismo.

Virtud 3: Medidas contenidas

A la estética de turismo de la California de batalla corta contribuye mucho, evidentemente, que sus medidas sean incluso más contenidas que las de algunos coches, al menos en longitud: 4,90 metros es casi lo mismo que mide, por ejemplo, de lo que mide un Skoda Superb Combi (4.862 mm). 

A esta reducida cota de longitud se añade que tampoco es tan alta: 1,99 m; ni tan ancha: 1,90 metros. Esto lleva a que, con el suficiente cuidado, puedas aprovechar la virtud de tu Volkswagen California Beach Tour de poder estacionar en una plaza de parking normal y corriente. 

Virtud 4: Facilidad de uso

Una vez aparcada, si tienes coches muy pegados a tu California Beach Tour , siempre podrás utilizar una de las dos puertas correderas para salir o entrar. Esta doble entrada deslizante ha sido una de las novedades recientes de una camper van que es, realmente, fácil de usar. 

Incluso el despliegue del techo, abatir los asientos para convertirlos en camas o sacar los muebles de camping hechos a medida puede parecer algo difícil al principio, pero una vez lo has hecho un par de veces, es algo que repetirás con los ojos cerrados. 

Virtud 5: Equipamiento

En el caso de la Volkswagen California, otra de sus grandes virtudes , es que su equipamiento no solo es mítico y tan completo como marque tu billetera, es que mejora sin parar. Ahora, por ejemplo, la iluminación interior LED puede regularse en su interior para que puedas generar el ambiente que prefieras con la furgoneta parada. 

Esto, además, incluye una función amanecer, que puedes programar para que el interior vaya subiendo de intensidad a la hora a la que te quieras: ¿Qué mejor despertar quieres antes de una sesión de surf o de escalada? 

Virtud 6: Consumos contenidos

Para esta generación de la California, Volkswagen decidió prescindir de todas las demás mecánicas y solo está disponible con el motor 2.0 TDI con dos opciones de potencia: 150 o 199 CV. Equipados con el cambio DSG de serie, cualquiera de los dos es más que suficiente para mover con eficiencia los 2.449 kg de este vehículo.

Es más, al contrario de lo que pasa con el resto de vehículos de Volkswagen y de cualquier otra marca: otra  virtud de la California Tour es que es sencillo viajar por debajo de los consumos homologados. Los 8,3 l/100 km de la 150 CV y los 8,4 l/100 km de la 199 CV pueden llegar a ser un litro menos en cuanto circules con la tranquilidad a la que, por otro lado, esta clase de vehículos te invitan.

Virtud 7: Valor de reventa

Una de las mejores virtudes de siempre en el caso de la Volkswagen California es su mítico valor residual . Si eres capaz de mantenerla adecuadamente o la has usado poco, seguramente, estamos hablando de uno de los vehículos de cualquier tipo que mejor conserva su valor, hayan pasado los años que han pasado desde que la compraste. 

Defecto 1: Falta de un motor más potente

Venga, pongámonos finos para buscarle defectos a la Volkswagen California Beach Tour y estos aparecen por comparación con la única camper cara con la que se la puede medir: la Mercedes Marco Polo. Y la otra alemana te ofrece mecánicas de hasta 239 CV con levas en el volante de serie que no solo lo parece, también se conduce como un auténtico turismo por autopista o carretera.   

Defecto 2: No dispone de cocina

De por sí, esto no debe considerarse una carencia en la Volkswagen California Tour , ya que si necesitas tenerla a bordo, lo que tienes que hacer es comprarte una Beach Ocean que sí la lleva y a correr. Eso sí, siempre es bueno advertírselo a la gente, no vaya a ser que piense que todas estas camper llevan lavabo y vitrocerámica siempre; no es así. 

Defecto 3: Precios elevados a pesar de todo

De lo anterior, deviene el último defecto de la California Beach Tour , que no es otro que sus precios. Vale que sus materiales y acabados estén pensados para durar más que tú si la tratas como es debido, pero aunque puedas dejársela en herencia a tus hijos, los 55.850 euros en los que arranca esta camper -que pueden llegar a 63.460 euros- son un leñazo demasiado gordo para las espaldas de la mayoría.

Solar eclipse 2024: Photos from the path of totality and elsewhere in the U.S.

Images show the Great American Eclipse, seen by tens of millions of people in parts of Mexico, 15 U.S. states and eastern Canada for the first time since 2017.

Millions gathered across North America on Monday to bask in the glory of the Great American Eclipse — the moment when the moon passes between the Earth and the sun.
