Esco is Escondido Beach
the paddle is about 5.5 miles as the crow flies

Thanks. My brother and I fish OC a lot but we actually live closer to Maliby and we would like to make the trip soon. That's not a bad paddle assuming there is lots of kelp along the way to keep you "entertained"!!!

Is the parking an issue especially now in the summer??

Much abliged,

Saw the parking from Gmaps and it looks tough.....access looks like it is gated. How do you guys do it??

Thanks,

The gate is unlocked and park on the road just make sure your in a legal area. They.dispatch tow trucks very fast there.

the gate is a public access...
there is a sign that says Escondido Beach Private...
but it is not a private beach!
the residents just want the laymen to believe it's so...
if you get there early in the morning, parking is never an issue...
but if you show up later in the day, it could be tough...
there are no parking signs so pay attention to where you park...
