• Saturdays at Costanoa

  < Naturalist Hike to Franklin Point Every Saturday, 1 - 3 p.m. - Three and a half mile meander through wild willow, hooker's primrose, bush lupine, and sandy dunes. Enjoy spectacular views of Pigeon Point and Ano Nuevo Island. Wear watertight shoes, as the trail can get mucky in a few spots. Meet Costanoa Naturalist Oscar Allan in front of the Ranch House.
  
  Naturalist Guided Kayak Tours of the Monterey Bay Every Saturday, 10am-12:30pm - Just a 25 minute drive south, the northern lee of the Monterey Bay offers protection from our summer trade winds, making for perfect kayaking conditions. Explore the nearby kelp-beds where Sea Otters, Sea Lions and Dolphins abound. Tours include safety instruction, naturalist guide, wetsuits and kayak rental. $65 per participant. Call the Activities Department at (650) 879-1100x 7412 for reservations.

Local Attractions

• Big Basin State Park

  Established in 1902, Big Basin is California's oldest state park. If you want to get lost, Big Basin is the place. With more than 80 miles of trails, Big Basin boasts over 19,000 acres of semi-wilderness, including a rare, virgin redwood forest. Hike into the park directly from one of Costanoa's trails or drive to either of the nearby entrances.

• Butano State Park

  For a tranquil change of pace from the crashing waves and coastal winds, take a short jaunt inland from Costanoa to the lush solitude of Butano State Park. The park is close enough to ride your bike and is filled with twenty miles of trails throughout the snug canyons of Redwoods.

• Año Nuevo State Reserve

  This state reserve hosts the largest and most important elephant seal rookery in North America. From December to March, during mating season, you must have a reservation for docent-guided tours. These guided walks take about two and a half hours and cover three miles. During the off-season, grab a permit from the entrance station and take a self-guided tour through the rookery.
