Unfortunately the tide was in when we went, so we couldn't see the tide pools. It's still well worth looking at. There's plenty of wildlife including lizards, also pelicans flying in formation at eye level. The rock formations are stunning. If you have walking difficulties...More
We got to tag along behind a school group and learn a lot of information! The view on a clear day is incredible! Senior citizens get into state parks free too, so that was a bonus! Definitely worth a couple hours of time!
