One of California's hidden jewels is Montana De Oro State Beach. Situated on the Central Coast just miles from the town of San Luis Obispo, it's a great local for hiking, camping, and exploring the rugged coastline. Sorry to you surfers out there.
One of California's hidden jewels is Montana De Oro
State Beach. Situated on the Central Coast just miles from the town of
San Luis Obispo, it's a great local for hiking, camping, and exploring
the rugged coastline. Sorry to you surfers out there. The waves would
be great to ride, but smashing into the rocks would be less glamorous.
Not to fear, just 10 miles north lies Morro Strand State Beach and
Pismo Beach is just a few miles south. However, there is a small
stretch of sand at Montona De Oro State Park perfect for basking in the
sun and enjoying nature.
Speaking of nature, it abounds here in
droves. Sea lions, starfish, sea urchens, crabs, otters, birds, and
whales are just a few of the creatures you can witness here. Another
animal you we see a lot of are humans, and for good reason! It's
absolutely beautiful!
Fortunately, there are a lot of ways to
escape the crowds. One great option is to hike up Valencia Peak for a
panoramic view of the ocean and surrounding towns. It's a good 5 mile
hike but well worth the effort. Sorry if you are feeling lazy, if you
really want to see what the state park offers you will have to work.
Cars are not allowed up the trail. However, you can bike up the trail
if you wish. No, not motorcylces silly! I'm talking about the kind you
pedal.
Valenica Peak isn't the only hike available. This state
park gives you plenty of options to explore the area. My favorite area
is south of the main beach along the 50 foot cliffs that overlook the
ocean. Not only is the view incredible but jumping off them into the
water below is just as fun. Just kidding. I had you for a second didn't
I? While you can't jump off the cliffs, adventurous types can hike down
them, but be careful! It's a long way down. At the bottom of these
cliffs lie a few hidden beach perfect for sightseeing and taking in
nature. So what are you waiting for? Get off your couch, put down those
potato chips, and head over to Montanta De Oro State Park. You won't
regret I told you so.
