you have to have a license to surf off the beach but all piers are free to my knowledge in California, just FYI.
I've only had limited experience but had a good time while camping at San Elijo state park near San Diego. You can also add sand crabs to your bait arsenal. The kids have a fun time catching them and putting them in a bucket (some kind of strainer or caulender helps), then you can sift through, pick out the big ones, put it on a hook behind an egg sinker and swivel and just slowly drag it across the bottom. Perch love em!
