This is one of my favorite places in the state. The drive to it from SLO is beautiful. I have seen whales and seals and vistas that are the same yet different every time I visit. The Point Buchon Trail is very nice.

A super-windy day, but we managed a hike on the bluff trail. Exploring the tidepools at Corralina's Cove was fun and they were full of sealife. There are beautiful views along the bluffs on the 2 mile hike. we enjoyed the drive through rural SLO to get there, too.

Some times you get fog then sometimes you don't. Either way there is a lot of hiking to do. If the surf is down I have dove in Spooners cove many times.

Truly an amazingly beautiful spot. The pathways perched high above the ocean offer breathtaking views.

We arrived on a Sunday afternoon during spring break finding several self-registered campsites still available. The camp is backed by the hills entering from the oceanside. Everything is green and the restrooms were very clean. There is a native plant garden at the entrance end of the camp worth a look. We hike the ocean cliff and down to the... More
