South Ponto Beach is a rare gem in that it is one of the widest beaches in the county and exists in an undeveloped area. Coast Hwy 101 hugs the shoreline here, with Batiquitos Lagoon on the other side of the highway. South Ponto Beach is secluded with its high sand dunes and tends to have a lot of polished stones washed up during the winter time. South Ponto Beach is just north of Leucadia, where the bluffs end and the open stretch of ocean begins.
