The San Onofre Bluffs: 6 mile Beach Loop Hike
I went for a 6 mile scenic hike at one of my favorite coastal bluffs, at San Onofre State Beach. It’s a kind of strange location to find a state park, sandwiched between a border patrol checkpoint to the east of it, the remnants of a nuke plant to the north of it, and the huge expanse of Camp Pendleton, to the south and east of it.
The Vernal Pools
The Vernal Pools are a unique type of wetland and environment. They are located adjacent near the entrance to Sano Surf Beach, and the Songs Plant. This is a unique protected area of vernal pools, and a habitat for fairy shrimp, an endangered species.
