Point Lobos gets its name from from the offshore rocks at Punta de los Lobos Marinos, Point of the Sea Wolves. This park has often been called the crown jewel of the State Park system. It offers scenic trails, lovely beaches, Scuba Diving, photo ops, and wildlife viewing, to name a few.

Point Lobos State Reserve is part of the State Park system. The entry fee for vehicles is $10. But be sure to get there early. The park allows only a specific amount of vehicles in the park at any time.

Point Lobos is located just south of Carmel, CA, along Highway 1.
