This is a lovely state park just a couple of miles outside of town. There are easy hikes in the hills and to the ocean. More

Beautiful section of the coast that is undeveloped and with miles of hiking trails and some excellent beach area. Good for people who want to get out of their car and put their legs to good use. More

Buchon. Don't overlook the many wildflowers, shore birds, even snakes. (I was... More
