One of my favorite campgrounds is San Elijo State Beach in California. It can be tough to get a reservation, but it is worth the effort. Several of the campsites are on a cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean. It is a gorgeous view!! There is a long staircase down the cliffside where you can access the beachfront below.
Here is the link to their website:

Google Map Aerial View If you set Google Map for satellite view, you can zoom in very close and see the campground real well!
Being fairly new to living in Arizona i did not know much about west coast shoreline camping and your recommendation is exactly what i was looking for.
Saved it to my favorites.
Thanks,
