    To see the mighty Pacific Ocean waves move for miles before they crash into the shore from up above is one of the most moving experiences I've had on the Central Coast.

    Montaña de Oro = "Mountain of Gold" in Spanish, named by park owner Irene McAllister in the 1950s. In 1965, the park was purchased by the State of California and it decided to keep the name.

    The Sandy Spit area is my favorite spot. It's a short hike down to the water and opens up into a huge sandy beach area. Only down side are there are a few flies that like to land on you!

    Beautiful hiking trails. If you are a hiker I would stick to the NO Bike trails as the bikers fly down the trails. Most wear bells.

    Montaña de Oro is awesome for sand dunes and picnics out in the middle of nowhere.

    Seems like a good spot for last-minute camping. Came here at night on Thanksgiving weekend and there were still a few spots left.

    Nice secluded seashore. Dramatic cliff faces with violent waves.

    The road through here is windy and offers spectacular views...but it's a dead end!
