State Park wants $10 to park your car, when you can park along Liden street for FREE, only 100 yards from the $10 state park parking. Amount of tar oozing was extremely miniscule when I was there, but interesting nonetheless.

Beautiful. It's such an amazing place to visit and see the history of our earth. The views of the ocean are spectacular too.

Amazing to see the seals and their pups. The beach is beautiful and worth a walk. The rock formations are interesting. Watch for globs od tar!!

Tar stocked to your feet. Friend of mine takes it off (removes) with either cooking oil (olive) Or toothpaste. Tar comes from the ocean. Sometimes you can see how it comes up from the ground (if I am correct). Next time: no barefoot And wear old shoes!!!

In addition to the campground in the park, there are also motels and hotels in walking distance from the park.
