Nice park that overlooks the ocean with an easy path down to a pebble beach. Somewhat clean bathroom. Picnic tables with BBQ grills. Sea gulls can be a menace.

This landing is just beside a bridge that's along a road that goes up to San Simeon or headed back to Cambria. People launch their small boats from this landing.

Great place to stop with morning coffee and watch the sea otters having breakfast. Watch closely and you may see whales migrating north or south. Squirrels are friendly so bring your camera.

Go during low tide. It's wonderful. Difficult to find, you need to park in the parking lot and down the stairs on the north side. Saw lots of crabs, sea anenomes, muscles, hermit crabs and even a starfish!

Perfect picnic place alongside the crashing ocean. Awesome views, lots of tables, & clean restrooms - - but ALWAYS breezy / cold so be sure to bring along a jacket.

Had a great time. No wait and the price was good. Make sure you watch for Bob the back bay otter.
