Load up the car with your friends and family and head to this beachfront campground for a seriously good burger. Yes, the Jalama Beach Store is an actual store. It's the kind you find at any good campsite, stocked with snacks, firewood and the drugstore type items you probably forgot to pack. But it's also the home of the famous Jalama Burger! For more than 40 years now, this place has been grilling up some of the tastiest burgers anywhere, piled high with cheese, shredded iceberg, tomato, onion and pickle slices. The burgers are huge - large enough to share if you've got a less hearty appetite. Their fries are also delicious: thin, cooked perfectly and generously sprinkled with salt.
