About Harmony Headlands State Park

Harmony Headlands State Park sits along Highway 1 on the Central Coast, a few miles south of the small town of Harmony. Visitors can follow a short, level trail from the parking lot to coastal grassland with steep hills and wide Pacific views. The park also suits picnicking, bird watching, and wildlife viewing. Services are minimal: a portable restroom near a small historic ranch house is the only facility at the trailhead, and cell coverage is weak. Camping is not offered here, and dogs and bicycles are not permitted. Nearby, the Museum of Natural History in Morro Bay State Park offers exhibits on local natural and cultural history.
