Aptly called “The greatest meeting of land and water in the world” by landscape artist Francis McComas, Point Lobos has long attracted artists, writers, and nature lovers with its beautiful landscape of rocky coves, shallow tide pools, broad kelp beds, and wind-sculpted pines. The park encompasses 700 underwater acres, and 550 acres of forest trails leading to headlands, white sand beaches, and turquoise waters. If you are a water lover, Point Lobos is a great place to dive or snorkel. Diving is restricted to Bluefish and Whalers Cove. You can otherwise take a stroll down any of the park’s 14 trails, take in nature, take photos, paint, or picnic.
