Mecca Beach is a uniquely quiet and peaceful place. We sat under a shaded, wispy smoke tree and stared out to the Salton Sea and beyond to the hypnotic martian expanse. We were in perfect stillness for more than an hour at this remote desert outpost before we adventured forward, road-touring the otherworldly Salton Sea.
Nice place for star gazing! Restrooms and showers are clean! Nice place for camping!
Very quiet and peacefully surreal place. Bathrooms and showers were VERY clean. Sites are very spacious. Breath-taking views of Salton Sea and the mountain range. Air was fresh with pleasant westerly breeze... no odor. There's a nice Visitor center with a small museum showing history of Salton Sea, the wildlife and environment. Camp host at Mecca Bch campground (David) was very friendly and introduced himself upon arriving. Stargazing was cool! Could see Mars, Jupiter, and Venus clearly... freight trains run by day/night, but wasn't too noisy.
