THIS WONDER OF A PARK IS IN MONTERREY BAY. THIS AREA CONTAINS HEADLANDS COVES AND ROLLING MEADOWS. THE OFFSHORE AREA FORMS ONE OF THE RICHEST UNDERWATER HABITATS IN THE WORLD. ANY GIVEN DAY VISITORS CAN SEE SEA LIONS, SEALS, SEA OTTERS, GRAY WHALES PERHAPS, AND MANY SEABIRDS. THIS AREA USED TO BE A TURN OF THE CENTURY WHALING AND ABALONE INDUSTRY.
THEIR IS A CABIN BUILT BY CHINESE FISHERMEN FROM THE 1800'S ERA FOR WHALING AND ABALONE INDUSTRY. A SMALL CABIN FROM CHINESE FISHERMEN STILL REMAINS AT WHALERS COVE.
THIS NATURAL RESERVE WHICH IS HOME TO 259 DIFFERENT ANIMALS, MARINE MAMMALS AND BIRD SPECIES, AND OVER 350 PLANT SPECIES HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED AT THE RESERVE. DEER ARE COMMON HERE. NEXT TO THE SPECTACULAR SCENIC BEAUTY OF THE POINT THE ROCKY LAVA CLIFFS SEEM TO TAKE ONE INTO A DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENT OF TRANQUIL SIMPLICITY.
WE HAVE TAKEN THE 17 MILE SCENIC VIEW AND HAVE FOUND TRAVELERS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD LOOKING AT THESE BEAUTIFUL VIEWS. THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE SPOTS. MY FAMILY HAS SPENT SOME PRECIOUS MOMENTS AT THIS PARK HIKING AND PHOTOGRAPHING THE WAVES. I FIND IT MOST INTERESTING TO VIEW THE DEEP CHANNELS THAT THE RUGGED OCEAN MAKES. IT HAS SUCH CLEAN AIR AND IS AN ARTIST'S DREAMLAND. IT IS VERY INSPIRATIONAL TO PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPGHERS, PAINTERS, AND POETS, THEY HAVE NAMED AN OSPREY WHO IS COMMON TO THE PRESERVE.
