The Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary, which stretches from San Francisco to Cambria California,\u00a0is the largest preserve in the nation and one of the richest marine environments in the world. Migrating grey whales, sea otters and elephant seals are just\u00a0some of the protected wildlife that\u00a0can be\u00a0experienced along this magnificent stretch of coastline.<\/p>\n

Sand Dollar Beach in the Los Padres National Forest is one of highlights along the southern stretch of the Big Sur\u00a0coast. It\u00a0is\u00a0one of the most rugged and scenic areas on the Pacific\u00a0and a favorite location for photographers, surfers and beachcombers alike. \u00a0A well-maintained trail leads down to a half-mile crescent where tide pools, caves, a rich vein of jade, and the elusive sand dollar add to the unique experience at this special place.<\/p>\n
