Description

With two beaches to explore, Abalone Cove and Sacred Cove, and 180 foot high bluffs to hike to and look out on, the Abalone Cove Shoreline Park & Ecological Reserve is the perfect area to spend a relaxing afternoon. Pack a lunch, bring a frisbee and bathing suit and hang out in the tide pools that the Ecological Reserve surrounds. After splashing in the water, hike up the bluffs to catch the sunset and views out to Sacred Cove. The area is safe, but rocky, so watch the children close as they play.
