Easy trail, beautiful view to the ocean so much to explore. Cherry on top... Seeing so many monarch butterflies in one place

An absolutely incredible park. So many trails, so many amazing views. Genuinely was blown away by this place.

It is out of the way and a nice small hike especially after work.

Beautiful sights and views at the end of groomed trails. So many walking/hiking options with gorgeous views of the water and Bluffs at the end. Worth the trek back to the beach to hang out for the day. I could have spent the day here, but was not prepared as thought it was just a hike out and back.

Often visited by locals and nearby residents, this beach park is perfect for walking, jogging, taking the dog out, bird watching, tide pooling, and picnics.

Wonderful for dogs (must be on leash) and children. We spent several hours playing on the plentiful eucalyptus trees and making forts and other “make believe” games with the kids. The hike down to the beach was absolutely breathtaking- maybe it was 2 miles there and back to the parking lot. Take water and snacks and charge up your phone for picture.

Beautiful scenery and easy hike. If you dont like those harsh hikes.. this is a good mellow hike to the beach

While this spot is beautiful, I was so sadden to see the beach covered with globs of tar, no doubt from the oil refinery just off shore. The smell of the tar was awful but the fact that my dogs paws were covered in the stuff is probably the worst part. So sad to see an absolutely beautiful beach ruined by humans..
