Beacons Beach is a climbing area in California, about half a mile from the town of Leucadia. It sits close to the Top Out Wall, another climbing area just 0.3 miles away, making it easy to pair with a second climb in the same stretch. The weather here stays mild year-round. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show summer highs in the mid-70s, with only a day or two of rain a month from June through September. Winter runs cooler, with highs around 65°F and about seven wet days a month. For a change from climbing, the Water Tank Trail is about 1.8 miles away and the Batiquitos Lagoon Nature Trail about 2.1 miles away. Farther out, Planet Space Ball and Wall of sage are both climbing areas roughly 7 miles from the beach.
