About Point Lobos State Natural Reserve

Point Lobos State Natural Reserve, located just south of Carmel-by-the-Sea along California's Central Coast, stands as one of the state's most photographed and cherished natural areas. Often called the "crown jewel of the California State Park System," this 550-acre reserve protects dramatic headlands, hidden coves with turquoise waters, and one of only two naturally occurring Monterey cypress groves in the world. The reserve's trails—including the beloved Cypress Grove Trail and Sea Lion Point Trail—offer stunning Pacific Ocean vistas and wildlife viewing opportunities. Visitors regularly spot harbor seals, sea otters, sea lions barking from offshore rocks, and migrating gray whales during winter and spring. The unique landscape inspired renowned photographers like Edward Weston and Ansel Adams, who captured Point Lobos' ethereal beauty. From China Cove's aquamarine waters to Bird Island's seabird colonies, Point Lobos embodies the wild elegance of California's coast. This print celebrates that timeless natural wonder with bold artistry worthy of this legendary landscape.
