About the Park
A beautiful scenic destination in Northern
California, Salt Point State Park is 90 miles
north of San Francisco. The park is located
just off of Highway 1 along the coast
of Sonoma County. It’s history includes
the Kashaya, the earliest known native
residents, and the arrival of Europeans in
the mid-1800’s. Fisk Mill, a lumber mill that
was built here in the late 1800’s, and the
shipping of sandstone slabs from Gerstle
Cove are also part of it’s history.
There are a variety of flora and fauna
that can be observed in the park and
surrounding areas. This includes lush
redwood and evergreen forests, a pygmy
forest, prairies and grasslands, and a
coastline featuring tafoni rock formations
and bull kelp. Various animals that can
be seen here include coyotes, gray foxes,
bobcats, black-tailed deer, racoons, striped
skunks, squirrels, chipmunks, and field
mice. Bears, mountain lions, badgers,
and porcupines occasionally can be found
here though sightings are rare. Vistors
may spot birds such as pelicans, osprey,
woodpeckers, oystercatchers, great blue
herons, Steller’s jays, and ravens but
also gray whales, red abalone, sea stars,
mussels, sea urchins, and various fish.
Hiking, biking, picnicking, camping,
horseback trails, fishing, diving, sea
kayaking, and viewing tidepools are among
the fun recreational activities that the area
has to offer. For more information, please

What is Tafoni?
Along the coast of Salt Point
State Park are various rock
formations called tafoni. These
type of formations develop
in sandstone that has been
altered through a process called
cavernous weathering. This
uneven erosion of sandstone
creates pits that look
like a honeycomb.
