California - Central Coast
Point Lobos State Reserve
A Karen Brown Recommendation
Highway 1 |
| Recenter Map To This Location |
Located just south of Carmel on Hwy 1, Point Lobos State Reserve is, in our estimation, the premier place to enjoy the California coast. A small admission fee entitles you to day use of the park. Walk along the coastal trails and venture down wooden steps to secluded sandy beaches. Rocky coves are home to sea lions, harbor seals, and sea otters. Between December and May migrating gray whales surface and dive offshore. Bring your binoculars and head for Sea Lion Point and the headland on Cypress Grove Trail, the best places to see the whales. Walking trails and picnic areas are well marked and the times of guided nature walks are posted at the entrance gate. (831-624-4909, www.ptlobos.org)
