October 20, 2025- Hiked the Wilder Ranch Old Cove Landing Trail trail to Fern Grotto Beach. This is a special location, as the fern grotto cave is an especially scenic cave framed by ferns with its own little beach. Not many people come here, because of the walk (or bike) it takes to get there. That makes this place all the more special when you do arrive here.
Along the bluff trail one can spot rabbits, frogs, and squirrels, an ode to the farmland that surrounds the area, that has been a working Dairy farm since the 1800's. The California State Parks system acquired the land in 1974, and has since been a place for people to enjoy. On the other side of the cliffs you can easily find harbor seals, large groups of pelicans, seagulls, and cormorants.
