"What an incredible place to come for a nice long walk and hike this is a gorgeous gorgeous reserve!! Looking at all the muscles that were growing among the rocks was really truly an amazing site💗 Obviously we didn’t pick them because that is a reserve but we did manage to see them living on those rocks! 🪨 what an incredible site to see! Went here with my family my kids my sister’s kids and it was such a great time we did such a long walk and saw so many incredible things learned a lot on the reserve made sure we respected by not taking anything from there because it is a reserve for a reason !

"This an amazing jewel of the State Park system. You can't take a bad picture as you walk along the coastal trails. This place has something for all levels of physical fitness. No one needs to miss it. Well maintained trails and quite a few docents to answer your questions. A few small parking lots for those that want a shorter hike."
"Beautiful park with stunning scenery. Very exposed on the cliffs so you get great views but I wouldn’t want to be there in a storm! We saw sea lions, otters, and pelicans! Worth a visit and don’t forget your binoculars!"
