You will enjoy glimpses of rare and endangered species, such as the White-Tailed Kite, Western Snowy Plover, and the Wandering Skipper butterfly.

One of the best remaining examples of a coastal-strand environment in Southern California, the Coal Oil Point Natural Reserve protects a wide variety of coastal and estuarine habitats. Largely undisturbed coastal dunes support a rich assemblage of dune vegetation and rare wildlife, including the dune spider, the globose dune beetle and the threatened Western Snowy Plover.
Our Nature Center is open to the public every Saturday from 9:00 am - 1:00 pm.
