Nice park, cool breeze, mature trees provide plenty of shade, no beach access, walking trails with decent views, some cactus and succulent plant gardens. Good place to bring your folding chairs and read a book or two.

A very nice location to enjoy LA cliffs, sometimes whales or just have a relaxed walk. A little away from both LA and Orange (about 45 min drive) - but very nice and worth going there. Highly recommended if You have 2-3 available hours.
