Drive on the Beach

[rezar1]

Are there any places in N.Cali that you can actually drive on the beach. I am aware of Pismo Beach but hoping for something closer to the Bay Area.

I know this is an old post, but for the future readers who may want the same thing...
the only place in (actual Nor Cal) I have found is Usal Beach campground in Ft Bragg.
It's a nice trail ride to get there and you can drive and camp right on the sand. I have been looking as well and have yet to make it to Usal Beach but check it out on YouTube. Looks pretty cool, though they say it's becoming a somewhat wild place since it is so far anyway from the highway and it isn't policed often.
If you, or anyone else has found another place, share it.

Found the following website. Don't know how accurate it is, but it gives a listing of beaches that one can do some more research on.

This article on Usal Beach says driving on beach no longer allowed (but also says it doesn't get much attention from park staff):

Only spot i know of near NorCal is, as OP noted, Oceano Dunes. My post here includes a map of the dunes there but note recent Ninth Circuit panel decision reversed preliminary injunction against SB2 so until that decision is reversed you cannot CCW there:
