Fun Facts

The reserve is famous for its active landslide area, which moves about 8 feet per year!

The reserve boasts over 399 acres of varied ecosystems, from coastal sage scrub to grasslands.

The area is a haven for over 200 species of birds, including the rare California gnatcatcher.

The scenic landscapes have been featured in several films and TV shows, making it a star in its own right!

The land was once part of a large ranch owned by the Sepulveda family in the 1800s.

With over 18 miles of trails, it offers stunning ocean views and a chance to explore nature up close.

The area was preserved thanks to community efforts and now serves as a model for land conservation.
