Awesome park. Easy access. Took a portrait of my daughter in her dress while I was there.

Great park with killer views of the Pacific and sea stacks. Unfortunately, it basically shares a parking area with a waste treatment plant - but don't let that deter you. The walk is well worth it.

Beautiful views and a great dog park. Stay on the trails, though, because there is poison oak all over the place there.
