Point Lobos Coastline, Pacific Coast Highway, Carmel-by-the-Sea, Monterey County, California, USA
Point Lobos is the common name for the area including Point Lobos State Reserve and two adjoining marine protected areas: Point Lobos State Marine Reserve (SMR) and Point Lobos State Marine Conservation Area (SMCA). Point Lobos is just south of the town of Carmel-by-the-Sea, California on the coast of the Pacific Ocean but north of Big Sur. Point Lobos contains a number of hiking trails, many next to the ocean, and a smaller number of beaches. It is the site of a historic marine reserve, which was expanded in 2007. It is also the home to a museum on whaling, which includes a historic building once used by area fishermen. The longstanding wildlife protection and iconic seascape have led to Point Lobos' reputation as an unparalleled local recreational scuba diving destination.
