Rocky coastline & beach for hiking, woods with camping, bird-filled wetlands & seal-watching.

Known for its rhododendrons, this clifftop garden offers ocean views, picnic spots & trails.

👍👍 A nice place to spend an hour or two along the Northern California coastline. $10 to drive out to the lighthouse and there is a small gift shop/exhibit about the history of the place. It has some excellent views north & south, and for a little extra you can go up into the lighthouse on a guided tour...

The 25-acre park offers benches & restrooms, plus interpretive signs & coastal hiking/biking trails.

2nd-growth redwood forest stretching the length of a riverfront preserve with camping & fishing.

Scenic park with a beach & trails plus the Pygmy Forest, where mature trees stand only inches tall.

😠 Only hightlight for this over-night camper was the ocean view and that the night stars were incredibly bright... - $35 a night (3-15-2021) with no hook up or shower. - I've seen better outhouses out in the middle of a forest, then the nasty brick "bathroom" on the RV side of the park. It was FILTHY....

State "demonstration" forest where visitors camp, swim & learn about redwoods & the logging history.

👍👍 Awesome presence on the coastal trail. Over the years folks have left various and unique locks hanging from the cables representing their lives in some way. Cool to take some time and check them out.

State park featuring scenic ocean vistas, grazing lands for cattle & seasonal campsites.

👍👍 This is a true hidden gem. The beach is huge. There are gorgeous rock formations. You can even go up to some rocks and maybe meditate there, it’s magnificent. There are almost no people on the beach. Such a great place.

👍👍 Ten Mile Beach is amazing! If you want to take a long walk away from the crowds wander on this beach away from the parking lots. We always come here when we visit and I highly recommend a long walk.
