JALAMA BEACH

Jalama Beach County Park is a gorgeous 30 minute drive from Lompoc, California. On the way along Jalama Road, you’ll see working ranches, vineyards, and hillside vistas around every bend, culminating in a rugged Central Coast overlook, before heading down to the beach.

Jalama Beach is a popular place for surfing, kite surfing, bird watching, nature photography, fishing, hiking and camping. Many protected California native plants like sand verbena, saltbush, and sea rocket, grow within park boundaries.

Day use is $10 per vehicle. Dogs can enjoy the beach for $3 per dog per day. Jalama is open year round. The on-site Beach Grill is open daily for breakfast, lunch and early dinner. There are 12 nearby hotels in Lompoc. Campsites start at $30 per night, reservations recommended (see below).

Welcome to Jalama Beach

The onsite Jalama Beach Grill is open  7 days a week for breakfast, lunch and early dinner. Be sure to try the famous Jalama Burger — some say it’s the best they’ve every tasted! Is it the secret sauce? Just the right seasoning on the meat? The shredded lettuce? Or perhaps the amazing view that makes the Jalama Burger so darn delicious? Come try one, and tell us what you think!

Jalama is subject to high winds and rough surf. Lifeguards are on duty during the summer months, however visitors swim at their own risk.

Beach Caves can be accessed along the sand – during low tide – about a mile north up the beach. Jalama Beach is also surrounded by beautiful hiking trails. A visitor favorite is the Point Conception: De Anza trail, a 10-mile round trip hike that will take you to the Point Conception Lighthouse, one of the first built on the West Coast.
