WHALERS COVE

in #walkwithme6 years ago

So me and the family went to Point Lobos State Reserve yesterday. It’s located a few miles south of Carmel, and about 30 miles north of Big Sur. It is one of many gems of Monterey County.

The name of Whalers Cove is because this little cove off of Spanish Bay was once a huge whale blubber oil operation.

The place is a very magical place. Walking into the park is almost like walking into a fairy tale...

And when there’s cool trees, there’s always a little boy dreaming of making a tree fort....

Well that was my day. Stay tuned for more scenes from the central coast!!!!

I passed nearby on my way to LA. The whole central coast is just gorgeous!

IMO the area where I live is the best part of California. But you know us Californians can be really territorial, lol

I haven't experienced that :)
