Point Lobos State Preserve - U.S. National Natural Landmarks on Waymarking.com

We never understood why Point Lobos is not a National Park because its beauty certainly measures up with places like Yosemite or Yellowstone. Its titillating geologic scenes look like Chinese watercolors and its flora is delicate and overpowering at once. But as exciting as the physical tableau may be, the way it intermingles with the sea, in interminably mysterious and inviting ways, is the start of the real story of Point Lobos.
Point Lobos is the product of complex geology. Blocks of earth from three miles deep, and parts of the Sierra Nevada mountains and some Pacific islands off southern Mexico collided here. The sparkling granite cliffs that came from deep beneath the sea, emerged as molten lava and cooled very slowly. Here it cleanses the sea. A great progression of change is evident in the meadows and coves throughout Point Lobos.
The coordinates take you to a point overlooking Bluefish Cove, one of the many great views in the park.
The parking coordinates are for roadside parking along hwy 68 just outside the park entrance. You can also pay the admission and drive to various parking lots inside the park.
More coordinates will be added as soon as we visit again.
