Location: HWY 1/Cabrillo HWY to 22nd Street. 22nd Street to Silver Spur Road to Pacific Dunes RV

Ranch Campground.

There are two fences as you turn into the parking area, adjacent to the office building. The

management has asked all visitors to park outside the fence closest to the street.

“THERE ARE NO BATHROOM FACILITIES OPEN TO THE PUBLIC!”

To access the dunes entrance, walk by the office up the hill following the road. About a quarter mile

later you will come to the entrance to the dunes, having passed some cars parked on the right as well

as trash dumpsters.

This will be an evening shoot at sunset be very sur to bring a flashlight/torch you may need as you

leave the dune area. There is a challenging appearance within the dunes as the area becomes

darker in which depth perception is slightly off and indistinct. `
