About Salt Point State Park

Salt Point State Park sits on the Sonoma County coast of Northern California, about 90 miles north of San Francisco. Its shoreline features coves, steep bluffs, and sandstone cliffs shaped by the surf, while inland areas include forests, grasslands, and a pygmy forest. The park offers more than 20 miles of hiking trails and is known for its underwater preserves, which attract divers and snorkelers. Visitors can also fish, picnic, ride horses, and camp. Fog and cold ocean wind are common even in summer, so layered clothing is recommended.
