小丘湾

It’s impossible to mistake 小丘湾 for any other California seaside town. 就在它的岸边, 一个巨大的, ancient volcanic plug known as 小丘的岩石 rises 576 feet from the ocean, adding a dramatic exclamation point to this haven of natural beauty. Fishermen plied their trade in the shadow of 小丘的岩石 for decades; today, the town in 圣路易斯奥比斯波县 maintains its sea-faring charm with a full menu of activities added.

You can’t climb 小丘的岩石, but you can look for the peregrine falcons that nest there. And it’s not just there you’ll see birds: So many of them love the 小丘湾 area that the Audubon Society has dubbed it one of the country’s best places for bird watchers. 甚至还有 观鸟节 every Martin Luther King Jr. 一天周末. 大自然生活在水里, 太, of course—check it out by taking a whale-watching cruise or stopping by the free 河口自然中心, a popular hangout for otters 和 other sea creatures.

The town is an ambulatory paradise as well: Beaches stretch north 和 south of town, perfect for strolling with a view of 小丘的岩石. L和lubbers can hike the area’s many trails or simply explore the Embarcadero, a waterfront street with shops 和 restaurants. Of interest to Half Ironman enthusiasts is the 钢铁侠70.莫罗湾3号 event that happens annually in May, 和 consists of a 1.2-mile protected swim in 小丘湾, followed by the 56-mile biking section through rolling hills 和 vineyards, 最后是13.1-mile run that finishes along the Embarcadero.
