Nice Monarch Butterfly interpretive center. If you time your visit right, you can walk down the wooden boardwalk and see clusters of butterflies hanging from the trees! Also a kid friendly beach there

Towering redwoods and miles of serene hiking trails. The 1 mile redwood loop meanders through the biggest, most impressive trees. The cathedral hike (my favorite) is about 4 miles round trip, and takes you along a stream before ascending into the forest to the lovely cathedral redwood grove. Well worth it!

Wonderfull coastal bluff hike and access to rugged, hidden beaches. Mountainside hiking equally as great, and you can get to an elevated, panoramic view point with little effort.
