The Department of the Navy and Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton signed the lease with California's State Parks office and Department of General Services to keep the popular beach open to the public.
Campers and surfers can make their way to the surf breaks of San Onofre State Beach and San Mateo Campground for at least the next quarter-century, thanks to a new lease signed Friday by the military and state agencies.
"San Onofre State Beach is a gem within our state parks system, a beloved beach with world-class surf breaks," said California Natural Resources Secretary Wade Crowfoot."We're very glad that this new lease with the Navy ensures that the state beach continues for everyone's enjoyment in decades to come.
"The renewal of the lease for the San Onofre State Beach represents our continued commitment to our community and to the preservation of natural beauty and cultural heritage of the region," said Brig. Gen. Nick I. Brown, commanding general of Marine Corps Installations West at Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton.
