Point Lobos State Natural Reserve

Arguably the state’s most spectacular park, Point Lobos is paradise for nature lovers. More than 250 animals and birds make their home in the forest, along the shoreline, and in the tide pools and waters off the Point. Visitors will find many miles of hiking trails that lead to such sights as Bird Island, Cypress Grove, and Moss Cove. Divers can explore 70 foot-high kelp forests, a myriad of fish and marine species. Look for seals, otters, and whales.
