Hiking
The Allan Memorial Grove in Point Lobos State Natural Reserve is home to one of the last naturally growing stands of Monterey cypress—trees that once blanketed much of the Central Coast. The Cypress Grove Trail is a short, scenic loop (about 0.8 miles) that winds through this grove along dramatic coastal bluffs. You'll get sweeping ocean views, rugged cliffs, and a chance to spot seabirds, sea lions, or even whales offshore. It’s an easy, must-do trail for first-time visitors.
