    Great natural and ethnological history center. Good bathrooms and drinking water, power plugs and shade make it a superb break spot.

    A long time the Chumash and Tongva/Gabrielino cultures lived in the Santa Monica Mountains. Near this point there was a village called „Satwiwa". In the Culture Center you can learn about this history.
