USA Shore Acres State Park

A state park perched on rugged sandstone cliffs high above the ocean. Once the grand estate of pioneer timber baron Louis Simpson, Shore Acres features lushly planted gardens with plants and flowers from all over the world. Something is in bloom almost every day of the year. The rock formations are most interesting and at times you will see seals and sea lions swimming and playing. The waves crash over the rocks in an amazing display. What you don’t expect is one of the most stunning formal gardens on the coast – if not the state – and waves that are sometimes hundreds of feet high. Another attraction are the migrating grey whales, often seen just offshore between December and June.
