It sits amid eroding sandstone cliffs with exposed slopes covered with coastal scrub and sage. The area is on the site of an ancient beach dating back 10 million years. From the park and adjoining cliff-hugging trails are views of Dana Point, Salt Creek Beach, South Laguna, Catalina Island, San Clemente Island, Aliso Peak, and the San Joaquin Hills.
