"Blue is a mysterious color, the rarest color in nature. It is the color of ambiguous depth, of the heavens and of the abyss at once, the tint of the marvelous and the inexplicable..." Special thanks to Docent Rick Pettit for the wonderful China Cove pix and sharing the amazing quote from Alexander Theroux.

We proudly partner with California State Parks to help care for extraordinary places like Point Lobos State Natural Reserve, Carmel River State Beach, and Ishxenta State Park — where majestic beauty meets deep respect for nature.

From spectacular sunsets to everyday heroism, California State Park lifeguards are out there protecting visitors along our Central Coast. Their commitment and quick action exemplify why we all care so deeply about these special places. 🌊🛟

Do you know someone who loves the ocean and wants to make a difference? State Parks is currently seeking more lifeguards to help safeguard our gorgeous — and sometimes challenging — coastline. Share this opportunity with a friend who might be ready to serve where it matters most. 💙

A lifeguard tryout is scheduled for March 7th at Del Monte Beach.

Adventure is calling… and registration opens February 15!

Imagine your child tide pooling along the coast, hiking beneath Monterey pines, discovering hidden coves, and learning from passionate naturalists — all in one unforgettable summer.

Point Lobos Summer Adventures is an outdoor day camp designed for curious kids and teens who are ready to explore, get their hands dirty, and connect with nature in meaningful ways.

✨ Three sessions available:

Based at breathtaking Point Lobos State Natural Reserve, campers also venture out to other local parks and outdoor spaces for hands-on recreation and discovery throughout the region. Along the way, they build confidence, spark curiosity, and form lasting friendships — all while developing a deeper love for the natural world.

Spots fill quickly and registration is first-come, first-served.
