Not every gate at a military installation stays open overnight. The Navy locations below have confirmed 24-hour access points in California, which can make late-night or early-morning arrival easier for authorized users.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can gate hours change?

Yes. Security needs, construction, exercises or special events can change which gate is open. Checking shortly before travel is a good idea.

Which gate should I use late at night?

Use the confirmed 24-hour gate listed in the table unless the installation posts a temporary change or security notice.

Does a 24-hour gate mean the public can enter at any time?

No. The gate can be staffed all day while normal installation access rules still apply. Visitors may need approved identification, a pass or sponsorship.
