Please also watch out for the bicyclists and I wouldn’t l...

Soberanes Point
Scenic spot
👍👍 Breathtaking views with easy-to-hike trails. It can get really windy and cold, so make sure you have a jacket handy. There's no dedicated parking lot, but there should be plenty of parking along the road -- just be careful, because it's essentially a 2-lane highway. Public restrooms are available...

👍👍 Pedro point is a fantastic spot if you love moderate hikes but want a beautiful view of the coast. Came before noon and was met with a thick dense fog which did prevent us from seeing further along the coastline as we would have liked but closer towards the afternoon, the fog started clearing. Beaut...
