Estero Bluffs State Park
A clifftop park just north of Cayucos, with gentle coastal terrace trails, rock pools, and quiet coves.
The park stretches about 6 km along Highway 1 and has almost no facilities. Park by the road and wander the clifftop trails to look down at the rocks, the bays, and Morro Rock in the distance. At low tide, you can observe tide-pool creatures such as starfish and sea urchins. Seals, sea otters, and waterbirds are often seen along the shore. Admission is free, and the park draws few visitors, making it great for quiet sea-watching. The cliff edges are soft and crumbly, so keep your distance.
