Point Lobos State Natural Reserve Details
There are very few places as stunningly beautiful as this nature reserve. The rolling meadows, sparkling blue bays, and rocky coves are home to many different marine and shore animals. In fact, it is considered to be one of the richest marine habitats in California. While hiking is a popular activity, scuba diving is one of the more unusual things to do here. Leaving Whalers Cove, divers can explore numerous small caves and offshore pinnacles that are anywhere from 60 to 100-feet deep.
