Small 100-acre coastal park with canyon ridges, coastal chaparral and sweeping Pacific views — ideal for landscape and nature shots without huge climbs. Best at sunrise or golden hour for warm light and sea haze. Minimal shade and hot summers; bring water and sunscreen. Parking: $12 at kiosk or free roadside spots on PCH; main trailhead is along PCH. Watch for wildlife and fragrant sage; some trails are overgrown—stick to the main loop (left side often gives the strongest vistas).
