Mission Statement This beach, with its famous natural bridge, is an excellent vantage point for viewing shore birds, migrating whales, and seals and otters playing offshore. Further along the beach, tide pools offer a glimpse of life beneath the sea. Low tides reveal sea stars, crabs, sea anemones, and other colorful ocean life. The park also includes a large area of coastal scrub meadows, with bright native wildflowers in the spring. Moore Creek flows down to the ocean through these meadows, forming a wetlands in the sand.
Volunteer Duties Leading educational programs for school groups and tours for the general public on topics like, Monarch butterflies, tide pools, and wetlands. Also maintaining milkweed gardens and salt water aquarium, restoration, and nature walks. The park relies on one day volunteers to assist with restoration to pull invasive species so the park does not have to use poison in the environment.
