Watching the waves crash into the rocky shore reminded me of our home state of Maine. However, the tall cliffs and the weather worn rocks were very different. We walked the beach and watched the surfers and then took the Bluff trail. It was cool and cloudy, but beautiful just the same. Parking was a little tight at the Bluffs,... More

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. Never go near the water when the surf is high, this is a dangerous beach. The hiking along the cliffs or in the mountains is world class. You... More

We visited the beach late morning through lunch hour. We loved it! This beach is great for collecting small rocks and pebbles. They are light weight angular spaces and just cool.

Nice access to the ocean and direct surf in the Moro Bay area. Ten minute drive from Back Bay Inn, we did not picnic there but that would be a good place to just sit, eat and read a good book for an hour or two.

I can't believe the state as not been charging to enter and park in this amazing area along the central coast. The Coon Creek Trail is about 5.5 miles long and is located at the end of the road on the left, even after a fire went through the trail is still very special.

Make sure you take the road to the end and hike as far as you can. It is stunning and wild. Absolutely beautiful. If you find yourself at the sand spit beach, you will be amazed that you may be the only person in sight... with miles of open beach.

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