Camp Pendleton Access: The Base has just announced that the visitor center opened May 13 and passes are available, but it is located at the main entrance, hours are only 7:30 - 2 or 3:30 M-F and expect long lines. You can take the train to Oceanside this week for free with a bicycle, and ride to the visitor center to get a pass for Saturday…

No civilians have had a current BASE BIKE PASS from the USMC, without one we will ride the freeway shoulder between Las Pulgas and Harbor Drive. It’s faster, shorter, safer, but loud. See Base Pass info here.
After ride treat - We like to stop at the Scoop Deck inside Coffee Importers for a great ice cream…
