South Ponto Beach Access offers one of the widest beaches in San Diego County with public restrooms and showers—rare amenities for the area.

Located along Coast Highway 101 with Batiquitos Lagoon across the highway, it provides parking (paid lot at peak season, limited free parking available) and is open 6 a. m. to 10 p. m.

The beach features high sand dunes and is popular for swimming, surfing, and fishing, though dogs are not allowed on the beach itself.
