California’s 'hidden' beach will now be fully accessible to the public for the first time in 40 years after the state ordered that a new path to the coastline be built.
Escondido - which means 'hidden' in Spanish - has a reputation for its placid waters and golden sand, despite being inaccessible to most since the 1980s.
