Description
With two miles of beaches, Garrapata State Park is a great system of trails that covers the ocean views to the towering redwoods further inland. Head out to Soberanes Point for a view of sea lions looking for a jutting outcrop of land to rest. With great hiking you'll want to spend most of the day exploring the oceanfront along the coastline, but be sure to make the 50-foot climb for panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean. Garrapata is an escape into nature for those wanting to see the wild side of the rocky coast and explore the forests nearby the coast, all in the same day.
