That is one of the few beaches in kalifornia where you can drive on the sand. It is just south of Pismo Beach.

I have driven it many times and even camped on the beach when I was assigned at Vandenberg AFB. The beaches are flat and have little slope. Pick your spot camping carefully, the tide line moves in about 150 feet at high tide. To me it looks more like the tide came in after they were stuck.
