The Adventure Buddies went hiking at Montana de Oro and it was so incredibly beautiful. The cliffs with caves, tide pools, beaches, wildlife.. what a wonderful surprise it was for us to be able to capture incredible photos of the landscape and central coast cliffs. There were tons of sea otters in the waves playing. Nice to walk, explore, and stop at a beautiful picnic bench with spectacular breathtaking views. We highly recommend!

We return here often and were married here 34 years ago. Nice spot overlooking the ocean and her waves. Beautiful vistas and restrooms nearby.
4. Harmony Headlands State Park

This park is a nice look through wide open ranches of brush and some wildflowers. The pathway is wide and there is only slight elevation gain/loss in areas. Free and probably overlooked by many people as they head up to the coastal areas or Hearst castle. This has newly become a California State Park and has beautiful wildflowers and views of the ocean from bluffs at the trail's end.

We loved camping at the state park. There are no hook ups but the park was still quiet even with a few generator left running. It was very windy and cold at times. You can see the beach from the tent campsites and hear the waves crash. There is some road noise from hwy1. There is an abundance of poison oak near some campsites. Just stay out of the brush and you’re good.

Magical. The elfin preserve is better known, but Los Osos oaks is the greatest. Doesn’t look like much from the road. Once you get inside, you’ll find ancient twisted oaks covered with dripping moss. Not a huge park, so just wander and get lost on the winding paths. Popular with families and mostly flat so any easy walk. No services, but great fir a picnic. I’ve told many children I’ve run into there that I just saw a fairy around the corner, and I just might have! Amazing place to let your imagination run wild.
