This was the first place we went in Rincon and it was a nice introduction to the area. It is a clean and manicured park with great views.

This used to be a pretty park with a snack bar and restrooms on one end and a gift shop on the other, and several telescopes in seaside kiosks for whale watching. Since "improvement" the concessions have been removed, the bathrooms are filthy and marginally functional, and the viewing scopes are gone.

Beautiful view. You could even see the surfers. It was also very clean. The parking lot was pretty much accesible. There was a variety of arts & crafts and the artisans were kind people giving reccomendations.
