Cambria State Marine Park Details
Located between the Pico Creek bridge and the city of San Simeon, this nature preserves snakes for 5.8 miles along the California coastline. It is one of the first protected marine parks in the state, as it is a vibrant habitat for different types of fish, including rockfish, kelp greenlings, and cabezons. You also might spot humpback and gray whales jumping off the shores during their migration down to Mexico during the fall. Or, if you are visiting during winter, keep your eyes peeled for elephant seals, sea otters, and harbor seals.
