Neptune State Scenic Viewpoint

Neptune State Scenic Viewpoint extends over four distinct pull-off areas along Highway 101, featuring beaches, tide pools, and ocean observation points.

The park's establishment began in 1938 with the first land acquisition, followed by additional expansions through trades and purchases until 1981.

The name derives from Neptune, the Roman god of the sea, reflecting the powerful winter waves that shape the park's rocky coastline.

Visitors can access the park through four separate paved parking areas, each leading to different beach sections and viewpoints between Gwynn Creek and Stonefield Beach.

The northernmost section contains an unnamed pull-off near Gwynn Creek, where visitors can find an isolated beach and grassy picnic area.
