Spring (April-June) brings a wildflower show across the coastal meadows -- lupine, poppies, and iris paint the landscape. Summer (June-September) brings the warmest days and longest light. Morning fog is common along the coast -- it usually burns off by midday. Welcome to bring 1 dog (up to 50 lbs.). Please keep your dog on a leash on trails and clean up after them.
