Point Lobos State Reserve
Point Lobos State Natural Reserve is one of California's most beautiful state parks, just south of Monterey. It offers a variety of activities for outdoor enthusiasts including hiking, jogging, scuba diving, tide pooling, wildlife watching, and of course photography! I've personally hiked most of the trails here, explored the tidepools, and enjoyed the birds and other wildlife that call this home. This view is a good representation of the cliffs and junipers that border the park - and yes - the water really is that shade of turquoise. A truly unique and wonderful place that reminds me how lucky I am to live in California.
