Point Lobos at Sunset

One of my favorite places is up in Central California by Monterey and is a small little park on the ocean called Point Lobos. I’ve visited Point Lobos probably a good 7-8 times since I’ve moved out to California and every time it’s always a great treat- especially at sunset.

Point Lobos State Reserve

Point Lobos State Reserve commonly referred to as simply Point Lobos is a sea side state reserve south of Monterey, California, north of Big Sur. The very precipitous drop in the ocean floor off Point Lobos (reaching levels characteristic of the mid Pacific within a few kilometers of shore) gives rise to strange tidal effects, with unusual levels of oxygen being injected into the ocean water. This in turn has attracted an unusual collection of plant and animal life, ranging from high plankton concentrations, moving up the food chain to large mammals.
