6) San Luis Obispo County
Six miles from Morro Bay in San Luis Obispo County sits MontaƱa De Oro State Park, a heartbreakingly beautiful stretch of cliffs and bays where the sea winds come charging from the Pacific, blowing anything that stands in its path sideways. The seafront is rocky but makes the waters a perfect home for a variety of Californian wildlife including otters, dolphins and tons of fish. The whole area is popular with hikers and nature lovers just happy to get out into the wild but it is the 1,000-foot cliffs at MontaƱa De Oro that set it apart from other sections of Californiaās long, rocky jawline. There are over 50 campsites to choose from and the sunsets at MontaƱa De Oro are among some of the most spectacular to be found in all of California.
